2. Horse With No Name
America
Em | D6add9 | |
On the first part of the | journey |
I was lookin at all the life |
There were plants and birds and rocks and things |
There were sand and hills and rings |
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz |
and the sky with no clouds |
the heat was hot and the ground was dry |
but the air was full of sound |
Em9 | Dmaj9 | |
I've been through the desert on a | horse with no name |
it felt good to be out of the rain |
in the desert you can remember your name |
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain |
la la la la lalala la la la la la |
After two days in the desert sun |
my skin began to turn red |
After three days in the desert fun |
I was looking at a river bed |
And the story it told of a river that flowed |
made me sad to think it was dead |
I've been through the desert ... |
After nine days I let the horse run free |
'cause the desert had turned to sea |
there were plants and birds and rocks and things |
there were sand and hills and rings |
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground |
and the perfect disguise above |
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground |
but the humans will give no love |
I've been through the desert ... |

When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side. |

She said "No, I've got to go, but my friend can stick around." |
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free, Take a load off Fanny, |

Go down Miss Moses, there's nothin' that you can say. |

59. Johnny B. Goode
Chuck Berry (1958)
A | |
Deep | down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans, |
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, |
D | |
There | stood a log cabin made of earth and wood |
A | |
Where | lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode |
E | |
Who | never ever learned to read or write so well, |
A | |
But he could | play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell. |
A | |
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
D | |
Go, Johnny, go! Go | ! |
A | |
Go, Johnny, go! | Go! |
E | A | |
Go, Johnny, go! Go! | Johnny B. | Goode! |
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, |
And sit beneath the tree by the railroad track. |
Living in the city sittin' in the shade, |
Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made. |
When people passed him by they would stop and say, |
"Oh my but that little country boy could play". |
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode! |
His mother told him: "Someday you will be a man, |
And you will be the leader of a big old band. |
Many people coming from miles around |
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down. |
Maybe some day your name will be in lights - |
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!" |
Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
Go, Johnny, go! Go! |
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode! |
60. Memphis Tennessee
Chuck Berry / Chuck Berry: Back in the U.S.A (1959)
G | D | |
Long- | distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee. |
Help me find the party who tried to get in touch with me. |
G | |
She | could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call. |
D7 | C | G | |
'Cause my uncle took a | message and he | wrote it on the | wall. |
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie. |
She's the only one who called me here from Memphis, Tennessee. |
Her home is on the south side, high upon the ridge; |
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge. |
Solo
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add, |
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had. |
But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree, |
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee. |
Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye; |
With hurry-home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes. |
Marie is only six years old; information please: |
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee! |
61. Rock And Roll Music
Chuck Berry / Chuck Berry (1957)
A | A | |
Just let me hear some of that | Rock And Roll Music, |
Any old way you choose it; |
D7 | |
It's got a | back beat, you can't loose it, |
A | A7 | |
Any old time you | use it. |
E7 | |
It's | gotta be Rock Roll Music, |
E7 | A | |
if you wanna dance with | me, |
E7 | A | |
if you wanna dance with | me. |
A | E7 | |
I've got no kick against | modern jazz |
A | |
unless they try to play it | too darn fast |
D | |
and change the beaty of the | melody |
E7 | |
until it sounds just like a | symphony |
That's why I go just for that Rock and Roll Music, |
Any old way you choose it; |
It's got a back beat, you can't loose it, |
Any old time you use it. |
It's gotta be Rock Roll Music, |
if you wanna dance with me, |
if you wanna dance with me. |
I took my love on over 'cross the tracks |
So she could hear a man a-wailin' sax. |
I must admit they had a rockin' band |
And they were blowin' like a hurrican'. |
That's why I go just for that Rock And Roll Music... |
Way down south they had a jubilee |
the rockin' folks they gave a jamburee |
drinkin' home-brewn from a wooden cup |
man, you should have seen them all shook up! |
That's why I go just for that Rock And Roll Music... |
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango, |
I'm in the mood to dig a mambo; |
It's way to early for a congo, |
So keep a rockin' that piano |
So I can hear some of that Rock And Roll Music... |
That's why I go just for that Rock And Roll Music... |

Who may not know it, but they are beautiful - and so is their city |
This is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it - |
particularly those of you who are European residents - save up |
all your bread and fly Trans-Love Airways to San Francisco, USA |
Then maybe you'll understand the song |
It will be worth it - if not for the sake of this song |
But for the sake of your own peace of mind |

Mothers and fathers back | home they will cry |
Sky-pilot, Sky-pilot! How high can you fly? |
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky! |
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile |
The order is given, they move down the line |
But he stay'll behind and he'll meditate |
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate |
As the young men move out into the battle zone |
He feels good, with God you're never alone |
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed |
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said |
Sky-pilot, Sky-pilot! How high can you fly? |
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky! |

You're soldiers of God, you must understand |
The fate of your country is in your young hands |
May God give you strength, do your job real well |
If it all was worth it, only time it will tell |
In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes |
The stench of death drifts up to the skies |
A young soldier so ill looks at the Sky Pilot |
Remembers the words, "Thou shalt not kill" |

You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky! :| |

75. A Boy named Sue
Shel Silverstein / Johnny Cash: At San Quentin (1969)
A | D7 | |
Well My | daddy left home when I was three -- And he | didn't leave much to Ma and me |
E7 | A | |
Just | this old guitar and an empty bottle of | booze. -- Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid |
D7 | E7 | A | |
But the | meanest thing that he ever did -- Was be | fore he left, he went and named me ' | Sue'. |
Well, he must have thought that that was quite a joke -- And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folks, |
It seems I had to fight my whole life through. -- Some gal' would giggle and I'd get red |
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head, -- I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue'. |
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, -- My fist got hard and my wits got keen, |
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. -- But I made me a vow to the moon and stars |
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars -- And kill that man that give me that awful name. |
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July -- And I just hit town and my throat was dry, |
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. -- At an old saloon on a street of mud, |
There at a table, dealing stud, -- Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue'. |
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad -- From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, |
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. -- He was big and bent and gray and old, |
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold -- And I said: "My name is 'Sue'! how do you do? |
Now you gonna die!" - Yeah, that's what I told him! |
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes -- And he went down, but, to my surprise, |
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. -- But I busted a chair right across his teeth |
And we crashed through the wall and into the street -- Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. |
I tell you, I've fought tougher men -- But I really can't remember when, |
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. -- I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, |
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, -- He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. |
He said: "Son, this world is rough -- And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough |
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along. -- So I give you that name and I said good-bye |
I knew you'd have to get tough or die -- And it's that name that helped to make you strong." |
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight -- And I know you hate me, and you got the right |
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. -- But you ought to thank me, before I die, |
For the gravel in ya' guts and the spit in ya' eye -- Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'." |
Yeah; what could I do? What could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun -- And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, |
And I come away with a different point of view. -- And I think about him, now and then, |
Every time I try and every time I win, -- And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him |
Bill or George! Any damn' thing but Sue! -- I still hate that name! |
76. Big River

F | |
Now I | taught the weeping willow how to cry, |
G7 | C7 | |
and I showed the clouds how to cover up a | clear blue | sky. |
F | Bb | |
And the | tears that I cried for that woman are gonna | flood you Big River. |
F | C7 | F | |
Then | I'm gonna sit right | here until I | die. |
I met her accidentally in St. Paul Minnesota. |
And it tore me up ev'ry time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl. |
Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport, |
And I followed you, Big River, when you called. |
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river. |
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone. |
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. |
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone. |
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. |
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans. |
Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf. |
She loves you, Big River, more than me. |
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry... |

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down. |
A | B7 | |
I think you only live to see the | lights up | town. |

A | B7 | E | |
' | Cause when the lights have lost their glow you | Cry! Cry! | Cry! |
E | |
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone. |

You'll wake up some cold day and | find you're | alone. |

I lie awake at night and wait 'til you come in. |
You stay a little while and then you're gone again. |
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie. |
For every lie you tell, you're gonna Cry! Cry! Cry! |
When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you. |
Then you'll come back to me for a little love that's true. |
I'll tell "you know" and then you'll ask me "Why, why, why?" |
When I remind you of all of this, you'll Cry! Cry! Cry! |

You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then, |

79. Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash/Johnny Cash (1955)
E | |
I | hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend, |
E | E7 | |
And | I ain't seen the sunshine since I | don't know when, |
A7 | E | |
I'm | stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' | on. |
B7 | E | |
But that | train keeps a-rollin' on down to San An | tone. |
E | |
When | I was just a baby my momma told me: "Son, |
E | E7 | |
Always be a good boy; don't | ever play with guns." |
A7 | E | |
But I | shot a man in Reno, just to watch him | die. |
B7 | E | |
When I | hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and | cry. |
E | |
I | bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car. |
E | E7 | |
They're | prob'ly drinkin' coffee and | smokin' big cigars. |
A7 | E | |
But I | know I had it comin', I know I can't be | free. |
B7 | E | |
But those | people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures | me. |
E | |
Well if they | freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, |
E | E7 | |
I | bet I'd move it all a little | farther down the line. |
A7 | E | |
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to | stay. |
B7 | E | |
And I'd | let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a | way. |
80. Four Strong Winds
Ian Tyson
G | Am | D | G | |
C | Em | D | D | |
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, |
All these things that won't change, come what may. |
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, |
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. |
Think I'll go down to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall, |
Got some friends that I could go to workin' for. |
Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time, |
But we've been through that a hundred times or more. |
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, |
All these things that won't change, come what may. |
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, |
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. |
If I get there 'fore the snow flies, and if things are goin' good, |
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare. |
But by then it would be winter, not much for you to do, |
And those winds sure blow cold, way out there. |
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high, |
All these things that won't change, come what may. |
Well our good times all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, |
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way. |

Am | |
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw: |
F | Am | |
Plowin' through the ragged skies, and | up a cloudy draw. |
Am | C | |
Their brands were still on fire and their | hoofs were made of steel. |
Am | C | |
Their | horns were black and shiny and their hot | breath he could feel. |
Am | |
A | bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky; |
F | |
For he | saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry: |
Am | C | Am | C | F | Am | |
Yippie-I- | ay, | yippie-I- | oh -- The | ghost riders in the | sky! |

Their | faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their | shirts all soaked with sweat. |
Am | C | |
He's | ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he | ain't caught 'em yet'. |
Am | |
'Cause they | got to ride forever on that range up in the sky, |
F | Am | |
On | horses snorting fire as they | ride on hear their cry! |
Am | C | |
As the | riders loped on by him he | heard one call his name: |
Am | C | |
"If you | wanna to save your soul from hell a- | ridin' on our range, |
Am | |
Then | cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride, |
F | Am | |
Tryin' to | catch the devil's herd a | cross these endless skies!" |
Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-oh - Ghost riders in the sky (3x)... |

There's a big tollgate down there and you know |
If you got certain things on board when you go through the tollgate |
Well you don't have to pay the man no toll. |
Well a train driver he pulled up to the tollgate |
And a man hollered and asked him what all he had on board and said: |

I got sheep, I got mules - I got all live stock!" |

Well he said: "You're alright boy you don't have to pay no toll |
You can just go right on through!" So he went on through the tollgate. |
Faster

Pickin' up a little bit of steam |
He got on through he turned and looked back at the man he said: |

But anyway, I tried to put myself in your place,
and I believe this is the way that I would feel about San Quentin.

Do you think I'll be different when you're through? |
You bent my heart and mind and you work my soul, |
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold. |
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell. |
May your walls fall and may I live to tell. |
May all the world forget you ever stood. |
And may all the world regret you did no good. |

Six-foot- | six, he stood on the ground, |
He weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds, |
F | G | C | |
But I saw that | giant of a man brought | down to his knees by | love. |
C | |
He was the kind of a man that would gamble on luck, |
Look you in the eye and never back up, |
F | G | C | |
But I saw him | cryin' like a little whipped | pup' because of | love. |
C | F | |
You can't see it with your eyes; hold it in your | hand; |
Em | Am | |
But like the | wind that covers our | land; |
F | G | |
Strong enough to | rule the heart of any man, This thing called | love. |
C | F | |
It can lift you | up; never let you | down; |
Em | Am | |
Take your | world and turn it all | around. |
C | G | C | |
Ever since | time nothing's ever been | found, That's stronger than | love. |
Bb | F | G | |
Huuh | Laah A Thing called | Love |
Most men are like me, they struggle in doubt, |
They trouble their minds, they in and they out, |
Too busy with livin' to worry about a little word like love. |
But when I see a mother's tenderness, |
As she holds her young close to her breast, |
Then I thank God that the world's been blessed, With a thing called love. |
You can't see it with your eyes... |
Ever since time nothing's ever been found, |
That's stronger than love... |

You held on to me like I was a crucifix, as we went kneeling through the dark. |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now, Then, why do I feel alone? |
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web is fastening my ankle to a stone. |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
For now I need your hidden love, I'm cold as a new razor blade. |
You left when I told you I was curious, I never said that I was brave. |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
Oh, you are really such a pretty one; I see you've gone and changed your name again. |
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside, to wash my eyelids in the rain! |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
Laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
Oh your eyes, well I forgot Your eyes; Your body's at home in every sea. |
How come you gave away your news to everyone, that you said was a secret for me. |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
If you leave, where will I keep you then? In my heart as some men say. |
But I who was born to love everyone, why should I keep you so far away? |
So long, Marianne, it's time that we began to |
laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |
102. Suzanne
Leonard Cohen
E | |
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river, |
F#m | |
You can | hear the boat go by, and you spend the night beside her. |
E | |
And you | know that she's half crazy, but that's why you want to be there |
G#m | A | |
And she | feeds you tea and oranges that come | all the way from China. |
E | F#m | |
And | when you mean to tell her that you | have no love to give her. |
E | |
Then she | gets you on her wave-length |
F#m | E | |
And she | lets the river answer that you’ve | always been her lover. |
G#m | A | |
And you | want to travel with her, and you | want to travel blind, |
E | F#m | |
And you | know she will trust you for you’ve | touched her perfect body |
E | |
With your | mind. |
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water. |
And he spend a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower. |
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him |
He said: "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them". |
But he himself was broken long bevor the sky war open |
Forsaken, almost human, |
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone. |
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind |
And you think maybe you'll trust him for he's touched you perfect body |
With his mind. |
Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river |
She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters. |
And the sun pours down like honey for our lady of the harbour, |
and she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers. |
There are heros in the seaweed, there are children in the morning |
They are leaning out for love |
And they will lean that way forever, while Suzanne holds the mirror. |
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind, |
And you know that you can trust her for she's touched your perfect body |
With her mind. |

You said no strings could secure you at the stations. |
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows. |
I walked into such a sad time at the station. |
As I walked out felt my own need just beginning. |
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back. |
I'll wait for you where the shadows run from themselves. |

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd. |
Consolation from the old wound now forgotten. |
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes. |
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings. |
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd, |
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves. |

And we've | got to get our | selves back to the | ga- | ar- | den! |
Well then can I roam beside you? I have come to lose my smog, |
And I feel myself a cog -- In something turning. |
And maybe it's the time of year, Yes, and maybe it's the time of man! |
And I don't know who I am -- But life is for learning. |
We are stardust, we are golden -- We are billion year old carbon, |
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |
Solo
We are stardust, we are golden -- We are billion year old carbon, |
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |
By the time we got to Woodstock, We were half a million strong; |
And everywhere there was a song -- And a celebration. |
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes -- Riding shotgun in the sky, |
Turning into butterflies -- Above our nation. |
We are stardust, we are golden, We are caught in the devil's bargain, |
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |

In the | area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. |

So great an area of land, that from | her western | shores, those beautiful sailors |

journeyed to the | south and the North Americas with ease, |
F | C | |
in their | ships with painted sails. |
G | C | D | |
To the east | Africa was a neighbor across | a short strait of sea miles. |
F | C | G | |
The great Egyptian age is but a rem | nant of the At | lantian culture. |
C | |
The antedeluvian Kings colonised the world; |
D | Fmaj7 | |
All the Gods who play a part in the | mythological dramas in all legends |
C | G | |
from all | lands were from fair Atlantis. |
C | D | |
Knowing her fate, Altantis sent out ships to all corners | of the earth. |
D | Fmaj7 | |
On board were the twelve, the poet, | the physician, the farmer, the scientist, |
C | G | |
the magi | cian, and the other so called | Gods of our legends. |
C | |
Tho' Gods they were! |
D | |
And as the elders of our | time choose to remain blind, |
D | Fmaj7 | C | |
let us rejoice and let us | sing and dance and ring in the news. |

C/G' | F | C/E' | G/D' | C/C' | G/D' | C/E' | F | C/G' | F | C/E' | G/D' | C/C' | |
C/G' | F | C/E' | G/D' | C/C' | G/D' | C/E' | F | |
Walk along and | talk along, And | live your lives quite | freely. |
C/G' | F | C/E' | G/D' | C/C' | G/D' | C/E' | |
But | leave our children | with their toys, Of | peppermint and | candy. |
C/G' | F | C/E' | G/D' | C/C' | |
For | seagull, I don't | want your wings, | I don't want your | freedom, in a | lie. |
Your thoughts they are of harlequin, Your speeches of quick-silver. |
I read your faces like a poem, Kaleidoscope of hate words. |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |
On the quilted battle-fields of soldiers, Dazzling made of toy tin. |
The big bomb, like a child's hand, Could sweep them dead just so to win. |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |
As you fill your glasses, With the wine of murdered Negroes. |
Thinking not of beauty that, Spreads like morning sun-glow. |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |
I pray your dreams of vivid screams, Of children dying slowly. |
And as you polish up your guns, Your real self be re-flecting. |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |
solo:
C/G' | F | C/E' | G/D' | C/C' | G/D' | C/E' | F | C/G' | F | C/E' | G/D' | C/C' | |
Vietnam; your latest game, You're playing with your blackest Queen. |
Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream. |
For seagull, I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom, in a lie. |

G5 | C5/9 | |
In the | chilly hours and | minutes |
G5 | C5/9 | |
of un | certainty I | want to be |
G5 | C | D | G | D | |
in the warm hold | of your | lovin' | mind. |
G5 | C5/9 | |
To | feel you all a | round me, |
G5 | C5/9 | |
and to | take your hand a | long the sand, |
G5 | C | D | G | D | |
Ah, | but I may as well | try and | catch the | wind. |
Am | Em | C | D | D7 | |
De de de dee, de | De de de dee, de | De de de dee, de | Dee de | Dee |
When sundown pales the sky |
I want to hide a while behind your smile |
And ev'rywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find. |
For me to love you now |
would be the sweetest thing, t'would make me sing, |
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. |
De de de dee... |
When rain has hung the leaves with tears |
I want you near to kill my fears |
To help me to leave all my blues behind. |
Standin' in your heart |
is where I want to be and long to be, |
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. |

Yellow is the colour of my true loves hair - |

in the | morning when we | rise: |
A | G | D | G | D | |||
That's the | time, that's the | time I love the | best. |
Blue is the colour of the sky-y-y - |
in the morning when we rise; |
in the morning when we rise: |
That's the time, that's the time I love the best. |
Green is the colour of the sparklin' corn - |
in the morning when we rise; |
in the morning when we rise: |
That's the time, that's the time I love the best. |
Mellow is the feelin' that I get - |
when I see her Mmhmm; |
when I see her A-ha: |
That's the time, that's the time I love the best. |

Freedom is a word I rarely use - |
Without thinkin' Mmhmm; |
without thinkin' Mmhmm: |
of the time, of the time when I've been loved. |

Donovan: What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid (1965)
Am | E | Am | E | Am | Dm | Am | E | |
On a w | agon | bound for m | arket, | There's a | calf with a | mournful | eye. |
Am | E | Am | E | Am | Dm | E | Am | |
High ab | ove him | there's a s | wallow | Winging s | wiftly t | hrough the | sky. |
G | Am | G | Am | ||
How the winds are | laughing, They | laugh with all their | might, |
G | Am | E | Am | ||
Laugh and laugh the | whole day through, And | half the summer's | night. |

Dona, dona, dona, | donna; | Dona, dona, dona, | do. |
E | Am | E | Am | |
Dona, dona, dona, | donna; | Dona, dona, dona, | do. |
"Stop complaining," said the farmer, "Who told you a calf to be, |
Why don't you have wings to fly with, Like the swallow so proud and free?" |
How the winds are laughing, They laugh with all their might, |
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, And half the summer's night. |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. |
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, Never knowing the reason why, |
But whoever treasures freedom, Like the swallow has learned to fly. |
How the winds are laughing, They laugh with all their might, |
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, And half the summer's night. |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. |
Dona, dona, dona, donna; Dona, dona, dona, do. |

119. Goldwatch Blues
Mick Softley / Donovan: Fairytale (1965)
Capo IV
Am | C | C/B | Am | |
I went up for my interview on the | fourth day | of Ju | ly. |
Am | C | C/B | Am | |
Personnel man he questioned me un | til I | nearly | cried, |
Am | C | C/B | Am | |
He made me fill in forms un | til I | shook with | fear: |
Am | C | C/B | Am | |
About the colour of my toilet roll and | if my | cousin's | queer. |
Am | C | C/B | Am | |
Here's your goldwatch and the | shackles | for your | chain, |
Am | C | C/B | Am | |
And your piece of paper to | say you | left here | sane. |
Am | C | C/B | Am | |
And if you've got a son who | wants a | good ca | reer: |
Am | (only one downstroke) | C | Em | Am | |
Just | get | him to sign on the dotted line and | work for | fifty | years. |
He asked me how many jobs I'd had before. |
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered: Four. |
Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be! |
We only take on men who work until they die. |
Here's your goldwatch... |
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line. |
This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime! |
And if you come to work for us on this you must agree: |
That if you're going to die please do it during tea-break. |
Here's your goldwatch... |
This story that you heard you may think rather queer, |
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear. |
I did not want no job upon the board: |
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor. |
Here's your goldwatch... |

3rd verse by George Harrison
G | Bm | C | D | |
When the truth gets | buried deep Be | neath a thousand | years of sleep, |
G | Bm | C | D | |
Time demands a | turn-around And | once again the | truth is found: |
F | C | G | |
A | wakening the Hurdy | Gurdy Man Who comes | singing songs of love. |
F | C | G | n.c. | G | |
A | wakening the Hurdy | Gurdy Man Who comes | singing songs | of | love. |
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang... |

We stood on the beach at sunset, do you remember when? |
I know a beach where baby - a-it never ends! |
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine. Mm-hm-hm-hm. |

Young Davey Crockett lay | laughing and dying, the | blood and the sweat in his | eye, |

for Texas and | freedom a | man was more | willing to | die. |

And he's fighting for the Russians, and he's fighting for Japan, |
and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way. |
And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the Reds, |
he says, it's for the peace of all. |
He's the one who must decide, who's to live and who's to die, |
and he never sees the writing on the wall. |
But without him how would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau, |
without him Caesar would have stood alone. |
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war, |
and without him all this killing can't go on. |
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame, |
his orders come from far away no more, |
they come from here and there and you and me - |
and brothers can't you see, |
this is not a way we put an end to war. |
126. The War Drags On
Mick Softley / Donovan
E | E7 | A | E | |
Let me tell you the | story of a | soldier named | Dan. |
E7 | A | E | |
Went out to | fight the | good fight in | South Vietnam. |
E7 | A | E | |
Went out to | fight for peace, | liberty and | all. |
E7 | A | F#m | E | ||
Went out to | fight for | equality, | hope let's go! |
Em7 | E | |
And the war | drags on! |
Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones. |
Millions without faces - without hope and without homes. |
And the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones. |
That the flesh had long since left just as the people - left their homes. |
And the war drags on! |
They're just there to make the people free. |
But the way that they're doing it, it don't seem like that to me. |
Just more blood letting, and misery, and tears; |
That this poor country's known for the last twenty years. |
And the war drags on! |
Last night young Dan had a nightmare it seems. |
One that kept occurring and reoccurring in his dreams. |
Millions of people running screaming and shouting loud; |
And right overhead was a big mushroom cloud. |
And there's no more war - |
'Cause there's no more world - |
And my tears keep fallin' down - |
Like the rain - on to the blackened ground! |

All along the watchtower, |
Princes kept the view. |
While all the women came and went, |
Barefoot servants, too! |
“No reason to get excited,” |
The thief, he kindly spoke: |
“There are many here among us |
Who feel that life is but a joke. |
But you and I, we’ve been through that, |
And this is not our fate! |
So let us not talk falsely now, |
the hour is getting late!” |
All along the watchtower, |
Princes kept the view. |
While all the women came and went, |
Barefoot servants, too! |
Outside in the distance |
A wildcat did growl. |
Two riders were approaching, |
And the wind began to howl. |
All along the watchtower |
Princess kept the view |
While all the women came and went |
Barefoot servants too |
All along the watchtower |
All along the watchtower |
All along the watchtower |
131. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Bob Dylan
C | (harp) | |
G | C | |
You | must leave now, take what you need you | think will last. |
G | C | |
But | whatever you wish to keep you better | grab it fast! |
Dm | F | C | |
Yonder stands your | orphan with his | gun; |
Dm | F | C | |
Crying like a | fire in the | sun. |
E7 | G | |
Look out the Saints are comin' | through: |
Dm | F | C | |
And - | It's all over | now, Baby | Blue. |
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. |
Take what you have gathered from coincidence. |
The empty handed painter from your streets |
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. |
This sky too, is folding under you: |
And - It's all over now, Baby Blue. |
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. |
All your reindeer armies, are all going home. |
The lover who just walked out your door |
Has taken all his blankets from the floor. |
The carpet too, is moving under you: |
And - It's all over now, Baby Blue. |
Leave your stepping stone behind, something calls for you. |
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. |
The vagabond who's rapping at your door |
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. |
Strike another match, go start anew: |
And - It's all over now, Baby Blue. |

133. Blowin' in the Wind
Bob Dylan
G | C | G | Em | G | C | D | |
How many | roads must a | man walk | down be | fore you | call him a | man? |
G | C | G | Em | G | C | D | |
How many | seas must a | white dove | sail be | fore she | sleeps in the | sand? |
G | C | G | Em | G | C | D | |
How many | times must the | cannonballs | fly be | fore they are | forever | banned? |
C | D | G | Em | |
The | answer, my | friend, is | blowin' in the | wind, |
C | D | G | C | G | |
The | answer is | blowin' in the | wind. |
How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea? |
How many years can some people exist before the're allowed to be free? |
How many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see? |
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, |
The answer is blowin' in the wind. |
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky? |
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry? |
How many deaths will it take 'till he knows that too many people have died? |
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, |
The answer is blowin' in the wind. |

135. Days of 49
Bob Dylan/Self Portrait
Am | G | Am | G | Am | |
I'm | old Tom Moore from the | bummer's shore in the | good old | golden | days. |
G | Am | G | Am | |
They call me a bummer and a | gin-sot, too, but | what cares | I for | praise |
C | Am | C | Am | |
I | wander 'round from | town to town, just | like a roving | sign, |
C | Am | G | Am | |
And | the people all say "There | goes Tom Moore in the | days of ' | 49. |
Am | F | C | F | C | |
In the | days of old, in the | days of gold, how | oftentimes I re | pine |
F | C | Am | |
For the | days of old when we | dug up the gold, In the | days of '49. |
There was Nantuck Bill, I knew him well, a feller fond of tricks. |
At a poker game he was always there and heavy with his bricks. |
He would ante up and draw his cards and go in a hatfull blind. |
In a game of bluff, Bill lost his breath in the days of '49. |
In the days of old... |
There was New York Jake, a butcher boy he was always getting tight. |
And every time that he got full he was always hunting a fight. |
One night he run up against a knife in the hands of old Bob Kline: |
And over Jake they held a wake In the days of '49. |
In the days of old... |
There was poor old Jess, the old lame cuss; He never would relent. |
He never was known to miss a drink Or ever spend a cent. |
At length old Jess, like all the rest, who never would decline, |
In all his bloom went up the flume in the days of '49. |
In the days of old... |
There was roaring Bill from Buffalo; I never will forget. |
He would roar all day and he'd roar all night and I guess he's roaring yet. |
One night he fell in a prospector's hole in a roaring bad design, |
And in that hole roared out his soul in the days of '49 |
In the days of old... |

138. Hurricane
Bob Dylan
Am | F | Am | F | |
Am | F | |
Pistol shots ring out in the bar | room night |
Am | F | |
enter Patty Valentine from the | upper hall |
Am | F | |
She sees the bartender in a | pool of blood |
Am | F | |
Cries out "My God they killed | them all!" |
C | F | |
Here comes the story of the | Hurricane, |
C | F | |
The man the authorities | came to blame |
Dm | C | |
for something that he never | done |
Dm | C | |
Put in a prison cell but | one time |
Em | Am | F | C | G | F | Am | F | |
he could have been | the | champion of the | world |
Three bodied lying there does Patty see |
and another man named Bello moving mysteriously |
"I didn't do it" he says, and he throws up his hands |
"I was only robbin the register, I hope you understand |
I saw them leavin," he says and he stops |
One of us had better call the cops |
so Patty calls the cops |
and they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin |
in the hot New Jersey night |
Meanwhile somewhere in another part of town |
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving around |
number one contender for the middleweight crown |
had no idea what kind of shit was about to go down |
when a cop pulled him over on the side of the road |
just like the time before and the time before that |
in Paterson that just the ways things go |
If you black you might as well not show up on the streets |
Less you wanna draw the heat |
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops |
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin around |
He said "I saw two men runnin out, they looked like middleweights |
They jumped into a white car with out of state plates" |
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head |
Cop said "Wait a minute boys, this one's not dead" |
so they took him to the infirmary |
and although this man could hardly see |
they told him that he could identify the guilty men |
Four in the morning and they haul Rubin in |
Take him to the hospital and bring him upstairs |
the wounded man looks up though his one dying eye |
says "why'd you bring him here for? he ain't the guy!" |
Yes, here the story of the Hurricane |
The man the authorities came to blame |
for something that he never done |
put in a prison cell but one time he could've been |
the champion of the world |
Four months later the ghetto's in flame |
Rubin's in South America fightin for his name |
while Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game |
and the cops are puttin the screw to him looking for somebody to blame |
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?" |
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?" |
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?" |
"Think it might have been that fighter that you saw running that night?" |
"Don't forget that you are white" |
Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure" |
Cops said "A poor boy like you could really use a break |
We got you for the motel job and were talking to your friend Bello |
Now you don't want to ave to go back to jail, be a nice fellow |
You'll be doin' society a favor |
That son of a bitch is brave and getting braver |
We want to put his ass in the stir |
We want to pin this trip murder on him |
He ain't ne Gentleman Jim" |
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch |
he never did like to talk about it all that much |
It's my work he'd say, I do it for pay |
and when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way |
up to some paradise |
where the trout streams flow and the air is nice |
and ride a horse along a trail |
but then they took him to the jail house |
where they try to make a man into a mouse |
All of Rubin's card were marked in advance |
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance |
the judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums |
to the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum |
but to the black folks he was a crazy nigger |
no one doubted that he pulled the trigger |
and though they could not produce the gun |
the D.A. said he was the one who did the deed |
And the all-white jury agreed |
Rubin Carter was falsely tried |
the crime was murder "one", guess who testified? |
Bello and Bradley and the both badly lied |
and the newspapers all went along for the ride |
how can the life of such a man |
be in the palm of some fool's hand? |
to see him obviously framed |
couldn't help but be ashamed to live in a land |
where justice is a game |
Now all the criminal in their coats and their ties |
are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise |
while Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten foot cell |
and innocent man in a living hell |
that's the story of the Hurricane |
but it won't be over till they clear him name |
and give him back the time he's done |
put in a prison cell but one time he could've been |
the champion of the world |

Nobody | feels | any | pain - | Tonight as I | stand | inside the | rain |

Everybody | knows that | baby's got new | clothes |
F | Em | Dm | C | G7 | |
But | late | ly | I | see her | ribbons and her bows |
Am | C/G | G7sus4 | G7 | G7sus2 | G7 | |
Have | fallen | from her | curls |

She | makes love | just | like a | woman, yes she does |

And she | aches | just | like a | woman |
G7sus4 | G7 | G7sus2 | G7 | C | |
But she | breaks | just like a | little | girl | . |
Queen Mary, she's my friend. Yes, I believe I'll go see her again. |
Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed |
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest |
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls. |
She takes just like a woman, yes she does; She makes love... |
E7 | |
It was rainin' from the first and I was dying there of thirst |
C | Csus4 | C | |
So I | came in here |
E7 | |
And your longtime curse hurts but what's worse |
G7sus4 | G7 | G7sus2 | G7 | G7sus4 | G7 | G7sus2 | G7 | |
Is this pain in here, | I can't stay | in here, | Ain't it | clear that |
I just can't fit - Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit |
When we meet again introduced as friends |
Please don't let on that you knew me when |
I was hungry and it was your world. |
She takes just like a woman, yes she does; She makes love... |

143. Masters of War
Bob Dylan/the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)
Capo III - dropped D [DAdgbe']
Dm | |
Come you masters of war - You that build the big guns; |
Cadd2 | Dm | |
You that build the death planes - You that | build all the | bombs; |
You that hide behind walls - You that hide behind desks. |
Cadd2 | Dm | |
I just want you to | know - I can see through your | masks! |
You that never done nothin' - But build to destroy. |
You play with my world - Like it's your little toy. |
You put a gun in my hand - And you hide from my eyes. |
And you turn and run farther - When the fast bullets fly. |
Like Judas of old - You lie and deceive. |
A world war can be won - You want me to believe. |
But I see through your eyes - And I see through your brain. |
Like I see through the water - That runs down my drain. |
You fasten the triggers - For the others to fire. |
Then you set back and watch - When the death count gets higher. |
You hide in your mansion - As young people's blood |
Flows out of their bodies - And is buried in the mud. |
You've thrown the worst fear - That can ever be hurled: |
Fear to bring children - Into the world; |
For threatening my baby - Unborn and unnamed! |
Dm/f | Cadd2 | Dm | |
You ain't worth the | blood - That | runs in your | veins! |
How much do I know - To talk out of turn. |
You might say that I'm young - You might say I'm unlearned. |
But there's one thing I know - Though I'm younger than you: |
Cadd2 | G/B | Dm | |
Even Jesus would | never - For | give what you | do! |
Let me ask you one question - Is your money that good? |
Will it buy you forgiveness - Do you think that it could? |
I think you will find - When your death takes its toll: |
All the money you made - Will never buy back your soul! |
And I hope that you die - And your death'll come soon; |
I will follow your casket - In the pale afternoon. |
And I'll watch while you're lowered - Down to your deathbed; |
Dm/f | Cadd2 | Dm | |
And I'll stand o'er your | grave - 'Til I'm | sure that you're | dead |

Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy
Am | G | |
Your Breath is sweet, your eyes are like Two | jewels in the sky. |
F | E | |
Your back is straight your hair is smooth On the | pillow where you lie. |
Am | G | |
But I don't sense affection - No | gratitude or love. |
F | E | |
Your loyalty is not me - But | to the stars above. |
F | E | |
One more cup of coffee for the | road. |
F | E | N.C. | Am | G | F | E | |
One more cup of coffee for I | go, | To the valley be | low. |
Your daddy he's an outlaw- And a wanderer by trade. |
He'll teach you how to pick an choose - And how to throw the blade. |
And he oversees his kingdom - So no stranger does intrude. |
His voice it trembles as he calls out - For another plate of food |
One more cup of coffee for the road. |
One more cup of coffee for I go, To the valley below. |
Your sister sees the future - Like your momma and yourself. |
You've never learned to read or write - There's no books upon your shelf. |
And your pleasure know no limits - Your voice is like a meadow larks. |
But your heart is like an ocean - Mysterious and dark. |
One more cup of coffee for the road. |
more cup of coffee for I go, To the valley below. |

147. Roll on John
Bob Dylan / Bob Dylan: Tempest (2012)
A | D | A | D | E | D | A | |
A | D | |
Doctor, doctor, tell me the time of | day. |
A | |
Another bottle's empty, another penny | spent. |
D | |
He turned around and he slowly walked | away. |
A | |
They shot him in the back and down he | went. |
D | E | D | A | |
Shine your | light, move it | on, You burn so | bright, roll on | John. |
A | D | |
From the | Liverpool docks to the red light Hamburg | streets, |
A | |
Down in the quarry with the Quarrymen. |
D | |
Playing to the big crowds, playing to the cheap | seats. |
A | |
Another day in your life on your way ‘til your journey's | end. |
Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
Sailing through the tradewinds bound for the south, |
Rags on your back just like any other slave. |
They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth, |
Wasn't no way out of that deep dark cave. |
Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
I heard the news today, oh boy: |
They hauled your ship up on the shore. |
Now the city's gone dark, there is no more joy; |
They tore the heart right out and cut it to the core. |
Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
Put on your bags and get 'em packed. |
Leave right now you won't be far from wrong. |
The sooner you go, the quicker you'll be back. |
You've been cooped up on an island far too long. |
Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
Slow down, you're moving way too fast. |
Come together - right now over me. |
Your bones are weary, you're about to breathe your last. |
Lord, you know how hard that it can be. |
Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
Roll on John, roll through the rain and snow. |
Take the righthand road and go where the buffalo roam. |
They'll trap you in an ambush before you know, |
Too late now to sail back home. |
Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |
Tyger, Tyger burning bright - I pray the lord my soul to keep. |
In the forest of the night - Cover him over and let him sleep. |
Shine your light, move it on, You burn so bright, roll on John. |

Bob Dylan
F | G | C | F | |
Hey, Mr. | Tambourine Man, | play a song for | me, |
C | F | G | |
I'm not | sleepy and there | is no place I'm | going to. |
F | G | C | F | |
Hey, Mr. | Tambourine Man, | play a song for | me, |
C | F | G | C | C4 | C | |
In the | jingle jangle | morning I'll come | followin' | you |
F | G | C | F | C | F | |
Though I | know that evenin's | empire has | returned into | sand, | Vanished from my | hand, |
C | F | G | |
Left me | blindly here to | stand but still not | sleeping. |
F | G | C | F | C | F | |
My | weariness a | mazes me, I'm | branded on my | feet, -- I | have no one to | meet, |
C | F | G | |
And the | ancient empty | street's too dead for | dreaming. |
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, my senses have been stripped, |
My hands can't feel to grip, my toes too numb to step, |
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'. |
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade into my own parade, |
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. |
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun, |
It's not aimed at anyone , it's just escapin' on the run, and but for the sky there are no fences facin'. |
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme to your tambourine in time, |
It's just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn't pay it any mind, |
It's just a shadow you're seein' that he's chasing. |
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, |
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, the haunted, frightened trees, |
Out to the windy beach, far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. |
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, |
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate, |
Driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow. |
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man... |
149. The Times They Are A-Changin'

For the | times, they are a | cha- | an- | gin'! |
Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen |
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again! |
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin |
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'! |
For the loser now will be later to win |
For the times they are a-changin'! |
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land - And don't criticize what you don't understand! |
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command - Your old road is rapidly agin'! |
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand |
For the times they are a-changin'! |
Come senators, congressmen please heed the call |
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall! |
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled |
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'! |
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls |
For the times they are a-changin'! |
The line it is drawn the curse it is cast - The slow one now will later be fast! |
As the present now will later be past - The order is rapidly fadin'! |
And the first one now will later be last - For the times they are a-changin'! |

150. Hotel California
Felder, Henley & Frey / the Eagles
Am | E | |
On a dark desert highway, | cool wind in my hair; |
G | D | |
Warm smell of colitas, | rising through the air. |
F | C | |
Up ahead in the distance, | I saw a shimering light. |
Dm | E | |
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, | I had to stop for the night. |
Am | E | |
There she stood in the doorway; | I heard the mission bell, |
G | D | |
And I was thinking to myself: this could be | heaven or this could be hell! |
F | C | |
Then she lit up a candle | and she showed me the way; |
Dm | E | |
There were voices down the corridor; | I thought I heard them say: |
F | C | |
" | Welcome to the Hotel Califor | nia! |
E | Am | |
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a | lovely face. |
F | C | |
Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor | nia! |
Dm | E | |
Any | time of year (any time of year), you can | find it here." |
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz. |
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends. |
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat |
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget! |
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine." He said: |
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine." |
And still those voices are calling from far away, |
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say: |
"Welcome to the Hotel California! |
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face. |
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; |
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis-" |
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said: |
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device." |
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast. |
They stab it with their steely knives - but they just can't kill the beast! |
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door. |
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before. |
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive. |
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" |
"Welcome to the Hotel California! |
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face. |
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; |
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis-" |

He went to fight wars |
For his country and his king |
Of his honor and his glory |
The people would sing |
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! |
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! |
A bullet had found him |
His blood ran as he cried |
No money could save him |
So he laid down and he died |
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! |
Oooh, what a lucky man he was! |

She sends her comfort, comin' in from above. Don't need a letter at all: |
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love. We've got a line in the sky, Radar Love! |
No more speed, I'm almost there. Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care. |
Last car to pass, here I go, And the line of cars drove down real slow. |
And the radio played that forgotten song: Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong." |
And the newsman sang his same song, One more radar love is gone! |
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough, She sends her comfort, coming in from above |
We don't need no letter at all: |

160. City of New Orleans
Steve Goodman / Arlo Guthrie (1972)
G | D | G | Em | C | G | |
Riding on the | City of New | Orleans, | Illinois Central, | Monday morning | rail. |
G | D | G | Em | D | G | |
Fifteen cars and | fifteen restless | riders, Three | conductors, and | twenty-five sacks of | mail. |
Em | Bm | |
All | slong the southbound odyssey -- The | train pulls out of Kankakee |
D | A | |
And | rolls along the houses, farms and | fields. |
Em | Bm | |
Passing trains that have no name -- And | freight yards full of old black men |
D | D7 | G | |
And | graveyards of the | rusted auto | mobiles. |
C | D | G | Em | C | G | D | |
Good morning | America, how | are you? Say | don't you know me, | I'm your native | son. |
G | D | Em | F | C | D | G | |
I'm the | train they call the | City of New | Orleans, I'll be | gone five | hundred | miles when the day is | done. |
Dealing card games with the old men in the club cars, A penny a point, ain't no one keeping score. |
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, And feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor. |
And the sons of Pullman porters -- And the sons of engineers |
Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel. |
Mothers with their babes asleep -- Rocking to the gentle beat |
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. |
Good morning America, how are you? Say don't you know me, I'm your native son. |
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. |
Nighttime on the City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennesee. |
Halfway home, and we'll be there by morning, Through the Misissippi darkness, rolling down to the sea. |
But all the towns and people seem -- To fade into a bad dream |
The steel rail still ain't heard the news. |
The conductor sings his songs again -- The passengers will please refrain |
This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues. |
Goodnight America, how are you? Say don't you know me, I'm your native son. |
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. |

Thinking that he's | already | made her. |

162. This Land is Your Land
Woody Guthrie
D | G | D | |
This land is | your land, this land is | my land, |
A7 | D | |
From Calif | ornia to the New York | Island, |
G | D | |
From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream wa | ters; |
A7 | D | |
This land was made for you and | me. |
As I was walking that ribbon of highway, |
I looked above me, there in the skyway, |
I saw below me, the Golden Valley; |
This land was made for you and me. |
This land is your land, this land is my land, |
From California to the New York Island, |
G | |
From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream waters; |
This land was made for you and me. |
I roamed and rambled, and followed my footsteps |
Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts, |
And all around me this voice kept saying: |
"This land was made for you and me". |
This land is your land, this land is my land, |
From California to the New York Island, |
G | |
From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream waters; |
This land was made for you and me. |
As the Sun was shining, and I was strolling |
Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, |
I could feel inside me and see all around me, |
This land was made for you and me. |
This land is your land, this land is my land, |
From California to the New York Island, |
G | |
From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream waters; |
This land was made for you and me. |

176. Apeman
R. D. Davies / the Kinks
Intro
D | D | D | D | D | D | A | E | - | D | E | E | A | |
A | E | |
I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life just like a | good homo sapiens. |
A | E | |
But | all around me everybody's multiplying and they're | walking round like flies man. |
D | A | |
So | I'm no better than the animals sitting in the | cages in the zoo man. |
E | A | |
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees | I am an ape | man. |
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'cause I'm a strict vegetarian. |
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians: |
I don't feel safe in this world no more, I don't want to die in a nuclear war. |
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman. |
A | E | |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an | apeman! |
A | E | |
I'm a | King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an | apeman! |
D | A | |
'Cause | compared to the sun that sits in the sky, Com | pared to the clouds as they roll by, |
E | A | |
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies | I am an ape | man. |
spoken
A | E | |
In man's evolution he's created the city and the | motor traffic rumble. |
A | E | |
But | give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and | living in the jungle. |
D | A | |
'Cause the | only time that I feel at ease Is | swinging up and down in the coconut trees. |
E | A | |
Oh what a life of luxury to | be like an ape | man. |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an apeman |
I look out the window but I can't see the sky, The air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes, |
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman. |
A | E | A | E | A | |
Oh come on and | love me, be my apeman | girl, And we'll be so | happy in my apeman | world. |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an apeman |
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane, I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane, |
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman. |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an apeman |
I don't feel safe in this world no more, I don't want to die in a nuclear war. |
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman. |

Well I left home just a week before, And I've never ever kissed a woman before |
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand, Said: Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man. |
Well I'm not the world's most passionate man, |
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola. |
Lola Lo lo lo lo Lo - la Lo lo lo lo Lo - la |
Lola Lo lo lo lo Lo - la Lo lo lo lo Lo - la |

Lazing on a sunny afternoon. |
Help me, help me, help me sail away. Who give me two good reasons why I are to stay? |
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly - Live this life of luxury; |
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon - In the summertime. |
In the summertime |
Save me, save me, save me from this greed, I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me. |
And I love to live so pleasantly - Live this life of luxury; |
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon - In the summertime. |
In the summertime... |

191. Me and Bobby McGee
Kris Kristofferson / Janis Joplin
Intro
G | |
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains, |
D7 | |
feelin' nearly faded as my | jeans. |
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rains, |
G | |
Took us all the way to New Or | leans. |
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana |
G7 | C | |
And was blowin' sad while | Bobby sang the | blues. |
C | G | |
With them | Windshield wipers slappin' time, and | Bobby clappin' hands we finely |
D7 | G | |
sang up every song that driver | knew. |
C | G | |
Freedom's just another word for | nothing left to lose. |
D7 | G | |
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's | free. |
C | G | |
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when | Bobby sang the blues. |
D7 | |
Feeling good was good enough for me, |
G | A | |
Good enough for me and Bobby Mc | Gee. |
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun |
E7 | |
Bobby shared the secrets of my | soul. |
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done, |
A | |
Every Night she kept me from the | cold. |
A | |
Then | somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away; |
A7 | D | |
Lookin' for the | home and I hope she'll | find! |
A | |
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a | single yesterday, |
E7 | A | |
Holding Bobby's body close to | mine. |
D | A | |
Freedom's just another word for | nothing left to lose. |
E7 | A | |
Nothing ain't worth nothing, But it's | free. |
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. |
Feeling good was good enough for me, |
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee. |

There's a | lady who's | sure all that | glitters is | gold and she's | buying a stairway to | hea | ven. |
Am | G#+ | c | D | |
When she | get's there she | knows if the | stores are all | closed |
Fmaj7 | G | Am | Am/H | C | D | Fmaj7 | Am | ||
With a | word she can get what she | came | for | - | ooh | ooh | ooh | ooh |
Am | C | G | D | |
And she's | buying a | stairway to | heaven. |
C | D | Fmaj7 | Am | |
There's a | sign on the | wall but she | wants to be | sure, |
C | D | G | Fmaj7 | |
cause you | know sometimes | words have | two | meanings. |
Am | G#+ | C | D | |
In a | tree by the | brook, there's a | songbird who | sings, |
Fmaj7 | G | Am | Am | G#+ | C | D | Fmaj7 | G | Am | |
sometimes | all of our thoughts are mis | gi | ven. |

Oh it makes me | wonder | oh, makes me wonder |

There's a | feeling I | get when I | look to the west, And my | spirit is | crying for | lea | ving. |

In my | thoughts I have | seen rings of | smoke through the trees, And the | voices of | those who stand | loo | king. |
Am7Am | Dsus4 | D | Am7 | Am | D6 | D | C | D | Am7 | Am | Dsus4 | D | |
Oh it makes me | wonder | oh, makes me wonder |
and it whispert that soon, if we all call the tune, Than the piper will lead us to reason. |
And a new day will dawn - for those who stand long, And the forrests will echo with laughter. |
Oh it makes me wonder oh oh |
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow - Don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the may-queen. |
Yes there are two paths you can go by - But in the long run, It's still time to change the road you're on. |
Oh it makes me wonder oh oh |
Your head is hummin' and it won't go in a case, you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him. |
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know, Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. |
|: | |: | D2 | D | D4 | :| | :| | F | G | Am | |
Am | G | F | G | F | G | |
And as we | wind on down the | road | Our shadows | taller than our | soul. |
There walks a lady we all know, Who shines white light and wants to show, |
How everything still turn to gold. |
And if you listen very hard, The tune will come to you at last. |
when all are one and one is all, to be a rock and not a roll. |
Fmaj7 | Am | |
And she's buying a stairway to hea | ven |

E | B | A | B | A | E | |
We don't care what | flag you're | waving |
We don't even want to know your name |
We don't care where you're from or where you're going |
All we know is that you came |
You're making all our decisions |
We just have one request of you |
That while you're thinking things over |
Here's something you just better do |
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! |
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! |
Well we were caught with our hands in the air |
Don't despair paranoia is everywhere |
We can shake it with our love when we're scared |
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer |
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! |
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! |
We understand your paranoia |
But we don't want to play your game |
You think you're cool and know what you're doing |
666 is your name |
So while you're jerking off each-other |
You better bear this thought in mind |
Your time is up, you better know it |
But maybe you don't read the signs |
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! |
Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! |
Well you were caught with your hands in the kill |
And you still got to swallow your pill |
As you slip and slide down the hill |
On the blood of the people you killed |
Stop the killing now! - Do it do it do it do it now! |
Bring on the lucie ... |

Everybody's hustlin' for a | buck and a dime |

I'll scratch your back and | you scratch mine |
D | Bb+5 | |
I've been across to the | other side |

I've shown you everything, I got | nothing to hide |

G | Gm6 | D | Bm | |
All I can | tell you is it's | all show biz |
G | Gm | D | |
All I can | tell you is it's | all show biz |
Nobody loves you when you're down and out |
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine |
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime |
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine |
I've been across the water now so many times |
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind |
But still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say |
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away |
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away |
Bridge:

Then I'm | lying in the darkness and I | know I can't get to | sleep, | oooh- | oooh- | wee! |
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey |
Nobody needs you when you're upside down |
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday |
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground |

A | working class | hero is | something to | be |
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school |
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool |
'til youre so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules |
A working class hero is something to be |
A working class hero is something to be |
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years |
Then they expect you to pick a career |
When you cant really function you're so full of fear |
A working class hero is something to be |
A working class hero is something to be |
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv |
and you think you're so clever and classless and free |
But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see |
A working class hero is something to be |
A working class hero is something to be |
There's room at the top they're telling you still |
but first you must learn to smile as you kill |
If you want to be like the folks on the hill |
A working class hero is something to be |
A working class hero is something to be |

If you | want to be a hero well | just follow | me |
Am | G | D | Am | |
If you | want to be a | hero | just follow | me |

And marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin', |
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin': |
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. |
Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! |
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space, But when you return, it's the same old place. |
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace, |
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace. |
Hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace: |
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, |
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. |

A | long, | long | time ago, | I can still re | member how that | music used to make me | smile. |
G | D | Em | Am | C | |
And | I knew | if I | had my chance that | I could make those | people dance |
Em | C | D7 | Em | Am | Em | Am | |
and | maybe they'd be | happy for a | while. But | February | made me shiver with e | very paper | I'd deliver. |
D | G | Am | C | D7 | G | D | Em | |
Bad news | on the | doorstep. I | couldn't take one | more step. I | can't re | member | if I cried, |
Am7 | D | G | D | Em | |
when I | read about his | widowed bride, but | something | touched me | deep inside the |
C | D7 | G | C | D | |
day the | music | died. |
G | C | G | D | G | C | G | D | |
So | bye | bye Miss A | merican | Pie. Drove my | Chevy to the | levee but the | levee was | dry, |
G | C | G | D | Em | A7 | Em | D7 | |
them | good ole | boys were drinkin' | whiskey and | Rye, singing | this'll be the day that I | die, | this'll be the day that I | die. |
G | Am | C | Am | |
Did you write the | book of love and | do you have faith in | God above? |
Em | D7 | G | D | Em | |
If the Bible | tells you so, now | do you be | lieve in | rock and roll? |
Am | C | Em | A7 | D7 | |
Can | music save your | mortal soul, and | can you teach me | how to dance real | slow? |
Em | D | Em | D | |
Well I | know that you're in | love with him. 'Cause I | saw you dancing | in the gym. |
C | G | A7 | C | D7 | |
You | both kicked | off your | shoes, man I | dig those rhythm and | blues! |
G | D | Em | Am | C | |
I was a | lonely | teenage | broncin' buck, with a | pink carnation and a | pick up truck. |
G | D | Em | C | D7 | G | C D | |
But | I knew | I was | out of luck! The | day the | music | died. |
G | D7 | |
I started | singing |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... |
Now for ten years, we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone, |
but that's not how it used to be when the jester sang for King and Queen |
in a coat he'd borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me |
oh and while the King was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown |
the courtroom was adjourned no verdict was returned. |
And while Lenin read a book of Marx the quartett practiced in the park |
and we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died. |
We were singin' |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... |
Helter skelter in the summer swelter the birds flew off with a fallout shelter |
eight miles high and falling fast as it landed on the grass. |
The players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast |
Now the half time air was sweet perfume while the sergeants played a marching tune. |
We all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance. |
Oh as the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield. |
Do you recall what was revealed, the day the musik died. |
We started singin' |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... |
And there we were all in one a place, the generation lost in space, |
with no time left to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick |
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick, 'cos fire is the devils only friend. |
Oh and as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in first of rage. |
No angel born in hell could break that satan spell. |
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite |
I saw Satan laughing with delight, the day the music died. |
He was singin' |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... |
I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, |
but she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store, |
where I heard the music years before, but the man there said the music wouldn't play. |
And in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed. |
But not a word was spoken. The church bells are well broken. |
And the three men I admire most: The Father, son and the holy ghost, |
they caught the last train for the coast, the day the music died. |
And they were singin' |
Bye bye Miss American Pie... (repeat) |

Starry Starry | night | Paint your pallete | blue and grey |

Look out on a | summers day with | eyes that know the darkness in my | soul. |
Gsus4 | G | Am | ||
Shadows on the hills | Sketch the trees and the | daffodils |
C | D7 | G | |
Catch the breeze and the | winter chill In | colors on the snowy linen | land. |
C | G | Am | D7 | G | Em | |
Now I under | stand | what you tried to | say to me |
Am7 | D7 | Em | |
How you suffered for your | sanity | How you tried to set them | free! |
A7 | Am7 | D7 | G | ||
They would not listen, they did | not know how, | per | haps they 'll listen | now! |
Starry starry night, Flaming flower's that brightly blaze, |
Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue. |
Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber graing, |
Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand. |
C | G | Am | D7 | G | Em | |
Now I under | stand | what you tried to | say to me, |
Am7 | D7 | Em | |
How you suffered for your | sanity, | How you tried to set them | free! |

You | took you life as | lovers often | do But I | could of told you Vinvent |
C | D7 | G | |
This | world was never meant for one as | beautiful as | you |
Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls |
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget |
Like the strangers that youve met, the ragged men in ragged clothes |
The silver thorn and the bloody rose Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow |
C | G | Am | D7 | G | Em | |
And now I think I | know, | what you tried to | say to me, |
Am7 | D7 | Em | |
How you suffered for your | sanity, | How you tried to set them | free! |
A7 | Am7 | D7 | ||
They would not listen, They're not | listening still, | Per | haps they never will! |

Have you seen the | old man in the | closed down | market, |
F | C | D7 | G7 | |
kicking up the | paper with his | worn out | shoes. |
C | G | Am | Em | |
In his eyes you | see no pride, | hand held loosely | at his side, |
F | C | G | C | |
Yestedrays | paper telling | yesterdays | news. |
F | Em | C | Am | D7 | G | G7 | |
So | how can you | tell me you're | lo-one- | ly - | And say for you that the sun don't | shine. |
C | G | Am | Em | |
Let me take you | by the hand - And | lead you through the | streets of London: |
F | C | G7 | C | |
I'll show you | something to | make to change your | mind. |
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London, |
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags. |
She's no time for talkin' she just keep right on walking, |
Carrying her home in two carrier bags. |
So how can you tell me you're lonely - And say for you that the sun don't shine. |
Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London: |
I'll show you something to make to change your mind. |
In the allnight cafe at a quarter past eleven, |
the same old man sitting there on his own. |
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup, |
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone. |
So how can you tell me you're lonely - Don't say for you that the sun don't shine. |
Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London: |
I'll show you something to make to change your mind. |
Have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission, |
memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears. |
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity |
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care. |
So how can you tell me you're lonely - And say for you that the sun don't shine. |
Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London: |
I'll show you something to make to change your mind. |

B | A | E | |
Have a drink, | have a drive, go | and a-see what you can | find |
If her daddie’s rich take her out for a meal. |
If her daddie’s poor just do what you feel. |
Speed along the lane, do a ton, or a ton a twentyfive. |
When the sun goes down you can make it, make it good in a lay-by. |
We’re not grey people we’re not dirty, we’re not mean. |
We love everybody, but we do as we please. |
When the weather’s fine we go fishing, or go swimming in the sea. |
We’re always happy, life’s for living, and that's our philosophy. |
Sing along with us, dee dee dee dee dee - da da da da da yeah we’re hap- happy, da da da da da... |

When the winter’s here, yeah, it’s party time. |
Bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes - it’ll soon be summertime! |
And we’ll sing again. We’ll go driving, or maybe we’ll settle down. |
If she’s rich, if she’s nice, bring your friends, an‘ we’ll all go into town! |

He talks about you in his sleep |

From crying when he calls your name, Jolene |
And I can easily understand |
How you could easily take my man |
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene |

But I could never love again |
Hes the only one for me, Jolene |
I had to have this talk with you |
My happiness depends on you |
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene |
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene |

Please don't take him even though you can |

Oh babe, | I hate to | go. |
There's so many times I've let you down, So many times I've played around, |
I tell you now they don't mean a thing. |
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you, Ev'ry song I sing I sing for you. |
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring. |
So kiss me ... |
Now the time has come to leave you, One more time let me kiss you, |
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way. |
Dream about the days to come, When I won't have to leave alone, |
About the times I won't have to say. |
So kiss me ... |

Leave but don't leave | me - | Look around and chose your own | ground |

For | long you live and high you fly - And | smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry |

And | all you touch and all you see - Is | all your life will | ever | be |

Run, run, rabbit, | run - | Dig that hole, forget the | sun, |

Calls the faithful to their knees - To | hear the softly spoken | magic | spells. |

And if your head explodes with dark, fore | bodings , too, |
C | G | Bm7 | Em7 | A | A7 | ||||
- I´ll | see you on the | dark side of the moon. |
- The lunatic is in my head, "HaHaHaHa" - The lunatic is in my head. |
- You raise the blade, - You make the change - You rearange me till I´m sane. |
- You lock the door, -And throw away the key |
- There´s someone in my head but it´s not me. |
- And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear, - You shout and no one seems to hear, |
- And if the band you´re in starts playin´diff´rent tunes, |
-I´ll see you on the dark side of the moon. |

C | D | Am | G | |
So, so you think you can | tell, heaven from | hell, blue skies from | pain. |
D | C | Am | |
Can you tell a green | field from a cold steel | rail, a smile from a | veil. |
G | |
Do you think you can | tell? |
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts, |
hot ashes for trees hot air for a cool breeze. |
Cold comfort for change. And did you exchange |
A walk in a part of the war |
For a lead role in a cage. |
G | Em | G | Em | G | Em | A7sus | Em | A7sus | G | G | |
How, how I wish you were here. |
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year, after year. |
Running over the same old ground, what did we found? |
The same old fears, wish you were here. |

231. Those Were The Days
Gene Raskin
Am | Am7 | |
Once upon a time there was a | tavern, |
A7 | Dm | |
where we used to raise a glass or | two. |
Am7 | |
Remember how we laughed away the | hours, |
B7 | E | |
and | dreamed of all the great things we would | do. |
Am | Dm | |
Those were the | days, my friend, we thought they'd | never end, |
G | G7 | C | |
we'd sing and | dance for | ever and a da | y; |
Dm | Am | |
We'd live the | life we choose, we'd fight and | never loose, |
E7 | Am | |
For we were | young, and sure to have our | way. |
A7 | Dm | |
La la la la la la la | la la | la la la |
E7 | Am | |
Those were the | days, oh yes those were the d | ays. |
Then the busy years went rushing by us. |
We lost our starty notions on the way. |
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern, |
we'd smiled at one another, and we'd say: |
repeat chorus
Just tonight I stood before the tavern. |
Nothing seemed the way it used to be. |
In the glass I saw a strange reflection, |
was that lonley woman really me? |
repeat chorus
Through the door there came familiar laughter. |
I saw your face and heard you call my name. |
Oh, my friend, we're older, but no wiser. |
For in our hearts the dream are still the same. |
repeat chorus

Now, I'm just |

If I appear to be carefree, It's only to camouflage my sadness. |
in order to shield my pride I try To cover this hurt as a show of gladness. |
But don't let my show convince you that I've been happy since you |
Decided to go, oh I need you so, I'm hurt and I want you to know, but for others I put on a show. |
Now there's some sad things known to man |
But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown, When there's no one around. |
Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid. |
Smiling in the public eye, but in my lonesome room i cry - The tears of a clown |
Now there's some sad things known to man |
But ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown, When there's no one around. |

He says "It's three a.m. there's too much noise don't you people want to go to bed? |
Just cause you feel so good, do you have to drive me out of my head?" |
CHORUS
I was sick and tired, fed up with things and decided to take a drive down town. |
It was so very quiet and peaceful, there was nobody, not a soul around. |
I laid myself down, I was so tired and I started to dream. |
In the morning the parking tickets were just like flags stuck on my windscreen! |

Mother needs something today to calm her | down. |

And though | she's not really ill - There's a | little yellow pill |
Am | Asus2 | Am | Asus2 | |
She goes | running for the | shelter - Of a | mother's little | helper |
Em | (riff) | |
And it | helps her on her way - Gets her through her busy day |
"Things are different today," - I hear every mother say |
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag! |
So she buys an instant cake - And she burns her frozen steak |
And goes running for the shelter - Of a mother's little helper |
And two help her on her way - Get her through her busy day. |
C | D | G | C | |
Doctor | please - Some more of | these - Outside the | door - She took four | more |
Am | D | Em | (riff) | |
What a | drag it | is getting | old |
"Men just aren't the same today - I hear every mother say |
They just don't appreciate that you get tired! |
They're so hard to satisfy - You can tranquilise your mind |
So go running for the shelter - Of a mother's little helper |
And four help you through the night - Help to minimise your plight. |
Doctor please - Some more of these - Outside the door - She took four more |
What a drag it is getting old |
"Life's just much too hard today," - I hear every mother say |
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore! |
And if you take more of those - You will get an overdose |
No more running to the shelter - Of a mother's little helper |
(riff) | G | C | G | G | ||
They just helped you on your way - Through your busy dying day | Hey! |

When you were a child you were treated kind but never brought up right. |
You were overspoilt with a thousand toys and still you cried all night. |
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax, |
Your fathers still perfecting ways of making sealing wax. |
You'd better stop - - look around - - Here it comes - here it comes - |

You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed youre mind |
And after that you turned your back on treating people kind. |
On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange you mind |
But after while I realised you were disarranging mine! |
You'd better stop - - look around - - Here it comes - here it comes - |
here it comes - here it comes - Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown! |

No colors anymore I | want them to turn | black |

I | see the | girls walk | by dressed | in their summer | clothes |
Dm | C | F | G | Asus4 | A | |
I | have to | turn my | head un | til the darkness | goes |
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black |
With flowers and my love both never to come back |
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away |
Like a new born baby it just happens every day |
I look inside myself and see my heart is black |
I see my red door and I want it painted black |
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the fact |
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black |
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue |
I could not forsee this thing happening to you |
If I look hard enough into the setting sun |
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes |
Solo: | |: | Dm | Asus4 | A | :| | |
I want to see your face, painted black, |
black as night, black as gold |
I wanna see the sun flying high upon the sky |
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, Yeah |

Don't question why she needs to be so free |
She'll tell you it's the only way to be |
She just can can't be chained |
To a life where nothing's gained |
And nothing's lost at such a cost |
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, Who could hang a name on you? |
When you change with ev'ry new day, Still I'm gonna miss you! |
There's no time to loose I heard her say |
Cash your dream before they slip away |
Dying all the time |
Lose your dreams and you |
will loose your mind ain't life unkind |
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, Who could hang a name on you? |
When you change with ev'ry new day, Still I'm gonna miss you! |

Say a | prayer for his | wife and his | chil | dren, | who burn the | fires and who | still till the | earth. |
C#m | G#m | C#m | G#m | F#m | |
And when I search a | faceless crowd - | A swirling mass of | gray and | black and white - |
G#m | A | B7 | |
They don't look real to me - | In fact, they look so | strange... |
Raise your glass to the hard working people - Let's drink to the uncounted heads. |
Let's think of the wandering millions - who need leaders but get gamblers instead. |
Spare a thought for the stay at home voter - his empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows. |
And a parade of the gray suited grafters - a choice of cancer or polio. |
And when I search a faceless crowd - a swirling mass of gray and black and white - |
They don't look real to me - in fact, they look so strange! |
Let's drink to the hard working people, Let's think of the lowly of birth. |
spare a thought for the rag taggy people, Let's drink to the salt of the earth. |
Let's drink to the hard working people. Let's drink to the salt of the earth. |
Let's think of the two thousand million. Let's think of the humble of birth. |
Let's have a drink to the salt of the earth... |

C | D | G | G7 | |
And they | mortgaged up their | lives |

One things not said too much, but I thin it's true: |
D | |
They just get married 'cause there's nothing else to do! |
So I'm just sitting on a fence, you can say I got no sense. |
Tryin' to make up my mind, it really is so hard to find, I'm just sitting on a fence. |

G | D | |
Walkin' thru' the | sleepy city, |
G | D | |
In the dark it | looks so pretty, |
C | D7 | |
Till I got to the | one cafe, |
C | G | |
That stays open | night and day. |
Just a lookin' at the sleepy city, |
In the night it looks so pretty. |
No one sees the city lights, |
they just care about the warmth inside. |
No one listens to what people say. |
I just sit and hear the radio play. |
Just then this girl walked in my way, |
And she was as pretty as my sleepy city. |
Will you walk through the sleepy city, |
In the night it looks so pretty. |
Tired of walkin on my own, |
It looks better when you're not alone. |
Will you walk through the sleepy city, |
In the night it looks so pretty. |
I'm tired of walkin on my own, |
It looks better when you're not alone. |
Mm mm mm mm mm mm - La la la la la la - La la la la la la - la la la la la |
Will you walk through the sleepy city, |
In the night, well it looks so pretty. |
I'm tired of walkin on my own, |
It looks better when you're not alone. |
C'mon walk through that sleepy city, |
I said in the night it looks so pretty. |
I'm tired of walkin that park on my own, |
It looks better when you're not alone. |
254. Sympathy For The Devil
Jagger, Richards / The Rolling Stones
E | D | A | E | |
Please allow me to intro | duce myself, I'm a | man of wealth and | taste. |
D | A | E | |
I've been around for | long, long years, stolen | many a man's soul and | faith. |
D | A | E | |
I was 'round when | Jesus Christ had his | moments of doubt and | pain. |
D | A | E | |
Made damn' sure that | Pilate washed his | hands and sealed his | fate. |
B | E | |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my | name, |
B | E | |
But what's | puzzling you is the nature of my | game! |
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was the time for a change. |
Killed the Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain. |
I rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged, and the bodies stank. |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game! |
I watched with glee how your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made. |
I shouted out: "Who killed the Kennedys?", when after all, it was you and me. |
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste, |
And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay. |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game! |
|: | E | D | A | E | :| (x4) | ||
( | so | lo) |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game! |
Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints. |
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer, 'cos I'm in need of some restraint. |
So if you meet me have some courtesy, have sympathy and some taste. |
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste. |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, |
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game! |

260. You Can't Always Get What You Want
Jagger-Richards / the Rolling Stones: Let it Bleed (1969)
Intro: choir sings 1st verse, chorus; guitar & french horn

C | F | C | F | |
I | saw her today at the re | ception, | - a glass of wine in her | hand |
C | F | C | F | |
I | knew she was gonna meet her con | nection, - at her | feet was a footloose | man |
C | F | C | F | |
You | can't always get what you | want, You | can't always get what you | want |
C | F | |
You | can't always get what you | want, |
D | F | C | F | C | Cadd9 | C | F | Fadd9 | F | |
But if you | try sometimes, you just might | find, you get what you | need! |
I went down to the demonstration, - To get my fair share of abuse. |
Singing: "We're gonna vent our frustration! - If we don't we're gonna blow a fivty amp fuse!" |
You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
You can't always get what you want, |
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |
I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store, - To get your prescription filled. |
I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy, - And man did he look pretty ill! |
We decided that we would have a soda, - my favorite flavour - cherry red. |
I sung my song to Mister Jimmy, - and he said one word to me and that was "dead". |
I said: You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
You can't always get what you want, |
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |
Interlude: brief electric solo and choir, instrumental

you get what you | need! |
I saw her today at the reception, - in her glass was a bleeding man. |
She was practiced at the art of deception, - I could tell by her bloodstained hands. |
You can't always get what you want, You can't always get what you waant, |
You can't always get what you want, |
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need! |

Tell me the thoughts that sur | round you |
F | G | G/F | G/E | G/D | ||||
I | want to look inside your | head |
I've seen all your qualifications |
You got from the Sorbonne |
And the painting you stole from Picasso |
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does |
When you go on your summer vacation |
You go to Juan-les-Pines |
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit |
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs |
When the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz |
With the others of the jet-set |
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy |
But you never get your lips wet |
But where do you go to.. |
Your name is heard in high places |
You know the Aga Khan |
He sent you a racehorse for christmas |
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh ha-ha |
They say that when you get married |
It'll be to a millionaire |
But they don't realize where you came from |
And I wonder if they really care, they give a damn |
But where do you go to.. |
I remember the back streets of Naples |
Two children begging in rags |
Both touched with a burning ambition |
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they try |
So look into my face Marie-Claire |
And remember just who you are |
Then go and forget me forever |
'Cause I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do |
I know where you go to my lovely |
When you're alone in your bed |
I know the thoughts that surround you |
'Cause I can look inside your head |

A time to cast away stones, A time to gather stones together. |
To everything... |
A time of love, a time of hate; A time of war, a time of peace; |
A time you may embrace, A time to refrain from embracing. |
To everything... |
A time to gain, a time to lose; A time to rend a time to sew; |
A time to love, a time to hate; A time for peace, I swear it's not too late. |
To everything... |

deutsche Version / Marlene Dietrich
Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Wo sind sie geblieben? |
Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Was ist gescheh'n? |
Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Mädchen pflückten sie geschwind. |
Wann wird man je versteh'n, Wann wird man je versteh'n? |
Sag mir, wo die Mädchen sind...Männer nahmen sie geschwind. Wann... |
Sag mir, wo die Männer sind...zogen fort, der Krieg beginnt. Wann... |
Sag, wo die Soldaten sind...über Gräbern weht der Wind. Wann... |
Sag mir, wo die Gräber sind...Blumen weh'n im Sommerwind. Wann... |

268. Turn the Page
Bob Seger / Bob Seger: Back in '72 (1973)
Em | |
On a long and lonely highway, east of Omaha, |
D | |
You can | listen to the engine, moanin' out as one long song. |
A | Em | |
You can | think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night | before; |
And your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do. |
D | |
When you're | riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do, |
A | Em | |
You | don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was | through. |
D | Em | |
But here I | am, on the | road again. |
D | Em | |
Here I | am, up on | stage. |
D | A | |
Here I | go, playing the | star again. |
C | D | Em | |
There I | go, | turn the | page. |
Em | |
You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road |
D | |
And you | feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold. |
A | Em | |
You | pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to | explode, |
Em | |
Sometimes you hear 'em talkin', other times you can't. |
D | |
All the | same old cliches, is that a woman or a man. |
A | Em | |
And you | always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a | stand. |
But here I am, on the road again. - Here I am, up on stage. |
Here I go, playing the star again. - There I go, turn the page. |
Em | |
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away. |
D | |
Every ounce of energy you try to give away, |
A | Em | |
And the | sweat pours from your body like the music that you | play. |
Em | |
Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed, |
D | |
Echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head, |
A | Em | |
And you | smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she | said. |
But here I am, on the road again. - Here I am, up on stage. |
Here I go, playing the star again. - There I go, turn the page. |

Em | D | Em | G | A | Em | |
Are you going to | Scarborough | Fair - Parsley | sage rose | mary and | thyme. |
G | D | Em | D | Bm | Em | |
Remember | me to one who lives | there - for | once she | was a | true love of | mine. |

Without no seam nor needle work - Then she'll be a true love of mine. |
Tell her to find me an acre of land - Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. |
Between the salt water and the sea strand - Then she'll be a true love of mine. |
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather - Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. |
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather, Then she'll be a true love of mine. |
Are you going to Scarborough Fair - Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. |
Remember me to one who lives there - for once she was a true love of mine. |
274. The Boxer
Paul Simon / Simon & Garfunkel: Bridge Over Troubled Water (1969)
C | Am | |
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom | told, |
G | Dm | G | C | |
I have | squandered my resistance - For a | pocket full of | mumbles, such are | promises. |
Am | G | F | |
All lies and | jest, still a | man hears what he | wants to hear, |
C | G | F | C | |
And disregards the | rest. (hm-hm | hm, hm -hm | hm-hm hm-hm | hm) |
C | Am | G | |
When I | left my home and my family, I was no more than a | boy - In the | company of strangers, |
Dm | G | C | |
In the | quiet of a | railway station, | running scared, |
Am | G | F | |
Laying | low, seeking | out the poorer | quarters - |
C | G | F | C | |
Where the ragged people | go, Looking | for the places | only they would | know. |
Am | G | Am | |
Lie la | lie, Lie la | lie la lie la lie, Lie la | lie, |
F | G | C | |
Lie la | lie la la la | lie la la la la | lie. |
C | Am | G | |
Asking | only workman's wages I come looking for a | job - But I get no | offers, |
Dm | G | C | |
Just a | come-on from the | whores on Seventh | Avenue. |
Am | G | F | |
I do de | clare, there were | times when I was | so lonesome, |
C | G | F | C | |
I took some comfort | there. (La la | Lie, la la | lie lie la la | lie) |
C | Am | G | |
Then I'm | laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was | gone, Going | home; |
Dm | G | C | Am | G | |
Where the | New York City | winters aren't | bleeding me | Leading me, going | home. |
C | Am | |
In the | clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his | trade, |
G | G7 | |
And he | carries a reminder of | ev'ry glove that laid him down |
C | Am | C | Am | |
Or | cut him till he | cried out in his | anger and his | shame: |
G | F | C | |
"I am | leaving, I am | leaving, But the fighter still re | mains". |
Am | G | Am | |
Lie la | lie, Lie la | lie la lie la lie, Lie la | lie, |
F | G | C | |
Lie la | lie la la la | lie la la la la | lie. |

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away. |
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away. |
And I know a father who had a son. |
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done. |
He came a long way just to explain; |
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping, Then he turned around and he headed home again |
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away. |
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away. |
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away. |
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away. |

Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan. |
The information's unavailable to the mortal man. |
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay. |
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away. |
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away. |
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away. |
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away. |
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away. |

I've seen the | yellow lights go | down the Missi | ssippi |
Am | G | Am | G | |
I've seen the | bridges of the | world and they are for | real |
F | G | C | C2 | C | |
I've had a | red light off the | wrist without me | even | getting | kissed, |
F | G | |
it | still seems so un | real. |
I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska, |
I've seen the sunset in the East and in the West, |
I've sang the glory that was Rome and passed the 'Hound Dog' singer's home, |
It still seems for the best. |
C | C/B | C/A | C/G | F | G | |
And I'm | far, | far | away | with my | head up in the | clouds, |

and I'm | far, | far | away | with my | feet down in the | crowds, |
C | C/B | C/A | C/G | F | E | Am | |
letting | loose | around the | world, | but the | call of home is | loud, still as | loud. |
I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre |
and felt the silence hanging low in No Man's land, |
and though those Spanish nights were fine, it wasn't only from the wine, |
It still seems all in hand: |
And I'm far, far away with my head up in the clouds, |
And I'm far, far away with my feet down in the crowds, |
letting loose around the world, but the call of home is loud, still as loud. |
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi |
The grand Bahama island stories carry on, |
And though those alligator smiles, stay in your memory for a while |
There still seems more to come: |
And I'm far, far away ... |
And I'm far, far away ... |

289. The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)
Rod_Stewart
C | Em | |
In these days of changing ways, | so called liberated days |
F | C | |
A | story comes to mind of a friend of | mine... |
C | Em | |
Georgie boy was gay I guess, | nothin' more or nothin' less |
F | C | |
The | kindest guy I ever | knew... |
C | Em | |
His | mother's tears fell in vain, the | afternoon George tried to explain |
F | C | |
That he | needed love like all the | rest |
C | Em | |
Pa | said there must be a mistake, how | can my son not be straight |
F | C | |
After | all I've said and done for | him? |
C | Em | |
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, | do do, da do do, da do do doo |
F | C | |
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, doo | do |
C | Em | |
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus, | cast out by the ones he loves |
F | C | |
A | victim of these gay days it | seems |
Chorus
C | Em | |
Georgie went to New York town, | where he quickly settled down |
F | C | |
And | soon became the toast of the great white | way |
C | Em | |
Accepted by Manhattan's elite, in | all the places that were chic |
F | C | |
No | party was complete without | George |
C | Em | |
Along the boulevards he'd cruise, and | all the old queens blew a fuse |
F | C | |
Every | body loved Georgie | boy |
Chorus
C | Em | |
The last time I saw George alive, | was in the summer of seventy-five |
F | C | |
He | said he was in love I said I'm | pleased |
C | Em | |
George attended the opening night, of | another Broadway hype |
F | C | |
but | split before the final curtain | fell |
C | Em | |
Deciding to take a short cut home, | arm in arm they meant no wrong |
F | C | |
A | gentle breeze blew down Fifth Ave | nue |
Chorus
C | Em | |
Out of a darkened side street came, a | New Jersey gang with just one aim |
F | C | |
To | roll some innocent passer- | by |
C | Em | |
There ensued a fearful fight, | screams rang out in the night |
F | C | |
Georgie's | head hit a sidewalk corner | stone |
C | Em | |
A leather kid, a switchblade knife, he | did not intend to take his life |
F | C | |
He | just pushed his luck a little too far that | night |
C | Em | |
The sight of blood dispersed the gang, a | crowd gathered, the police came |
F | C | |
An | ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and | Third |
C | Em | |
Georgie's life ended there, | but I ask who really cares? |
F | C | |
George once said to me and I | quote |
C | Em | |
He said "Never wait or hesitate, | Get in kid, before it's too late |
F | C | |
You may never get another | chance |
C | Em | |
' | Cos youth's a mask but it don't last, | live it long and live it fast" |
F | C | |
Georgie was a friend of | mine |
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away |
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away |
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away |
Oh Georgie stay... |

Uriah Heep
297. Lady in Black
Hensley / Uriah Heep: Salisbury (1971)
Am | |
She | came to me one morning, one lonely sunday morning, |
G | Am | |
Her | long hair flowing in the | mid-winter wind. |
Am | |
I | know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, |
G | Am | |
And | destruction lay around me from a | fight I could not win. |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | |
Ahahaaa | Haahah, | Ahahaaa | Haha | Ha! |
She asked me: "Name my foe then". I said: "The need within some men |
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or God". |
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies, |
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life. |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! |
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals, |
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end. |
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that |
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay. |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! |
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side." |
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life. |
There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconception. |
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away. |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! |
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say |
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear. |
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone. |
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day. |
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise. |
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me. |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha... |

Feel fine - | feel low and | lazy, | Feel grey and | hazy, | feel far | away. |
Living ain't lying dying ain't flying so high. |
Babe and I are wandrin' watching the day go by. |

Me and this friend named Streetlife Brown - |
A | E | |
We got a | bottle of red and | walked uptown. |
B | |
One | hand on the jug and one on time - |
A | E | |
He said "I | bet you a dollar against | this next line." - I said: |
E | B | A | E | |
Don't let the | sunshine fool you, - | Don't let the bluebirds | tool you. |
E | B | A | E | |
Don't let the | women do you, - | Put your hand in | mine. |
Oh, advice is fine if you got a mind |
To listen to the end that's got the time. |
But the muse'll get you if you don't watch out |
She's equipped to know what it's all about: |
Don't let the sunshine fool you, - Don't let the bluebirds tool you. |
Don't let the women do you, - Put your hand in mine. |
Oh, Fanon street in the afternoon's |
An easy way to get out of tune. |
But the hard soap salesman, he said: "No dice." |
When I asked politely for a better price, and said: |
Don't let the sunshine fool you, - Don't let the bluebirds tool you. |
Don't let the women do you, - Put your hand in mine. |
Well here's a song for you, child of mine, |
I hope you make it through this time. |
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie, |
No reason in the world that you can't get by: |
Don't let the sunshine fool you, - Don't let the bluebirds tool you. |
Don't let the women do you, - Put your hand in mine. |
Don't let ... |

C | Em | F | Em | Dm | G | F | C | Em | F | Em | Dm | ||
Well, the | drunken clown still | hanging 'round, But it's | plain the | laughters | all died down; |
G | F | C | |
The | tears you tried so | hard to hide are | flowing. |
C | Em | F | Em | Dm | |
And a blind man with his | knife in hand Has con | vinced him | self that he | understands - |
G | F | C | |
I | wish him well, Miss Carousel, but | I gotta be a | going. |
Am | Em | Am | Em | |
Won't you come and | get me when You're | sure that you don't | need me then |
Am | Em | F | Em | G | |
I'll | stand outside your | window - And I | proudly call your | name! |
C | Em | F | Em | Dm | |
Well the | lady's been told that | all her gold Is | worth so | much, she | can't be sold; |
G | F | C | |
No | time to weep, she'll | later sleep to | morrow. |
C | Em | F | Em | Dm | |
When she carries her face to the | market place And | bets it | on the | open enrage - |
G | F | C | |
She can | ring her bells, Miss Carousel, but the | singing brings me | sorrow. |
Won't you come... |
C | Em | F | Em | Dm | |
Well it's | always done, every | mothers sun Is | surely | grown, and | never run; |
G | F | C | |
So they fight with | all their might | inside them. |
C | Em | F | Em | Dm | |
When the battles been fought 'n | they've all been taught That the | trick is | just not | being caught; |
G | F | C | |
Will you give 'em hell, Miss Carousel, When they're | begging you to | hide them. |
Won't you come and get me... |
C | Em | F | Em | Dm | |
When they | need a rose, your | eyes felt closed; You | clamped your | fingers ' | round your nose - |
G | F | C | |
Would you say, that's any | way to | judge him. |
C | Em | F | Em | Dm | |
Well you haven't got the | authority To | kill him | in the | first degree - |
G | F | C | |
But would you | feel compelled, Miss Carousel, If you had | something to | regret in. |

On a | velvet beach far | beneath the reach Of | those who | come to | pry and preach, |

The | natural man that tried to | stand is | falling. |

Well how long will it be | before he sees: You | own his | legs but his | mind is free! |
G | F | C | |
Only | you can tell, Miss Carousel, How | long will he be | crawling. |
Won't you come and get me... |

All the | castle walls | grown so tall, | Seems there | ain't no | hope at all - |

To | reach the top even | though you stopped your | breathin'. |

But I ain't gonna try to | make you cry, The | teardrops | couldn't | find your eye, |

Won't you come and get me when... |

303. Heavenly Houseboat Blues
Susanna Clark, Townes van Zandt / Townes van Zandt: The Late Great Townes van Zandt (1972)

Well I'm | building a houseboat in | heaven - to | sail those deep and holy | seas. |
D | G | A7 | D | |
Well | I'm building a houseboat in | heaven - and it's | welcome aboard you sweet | peace! |
D | G | A7 | D | |
Now the | bow she is made of solid | silver - And the | hall she is made of solid | gold! |

So I'm | headed out on to them lonesome | oceans - In my | ruby-studded houseboat to | roam. |
D | G | A7 | D | |
Well I'm | building a houseboat in | heaven - to | sail those deep and holy | seas. |

304. Pancho and Lefty
Townes van Zandt
C | G | |
Living on the road, my friend, | is gonna keep you free and clean; |
F | C | G | |
Now you wear your skin like iron and your | breath is as hard as | kerosene. |
F | C | F | |
You weren't your mama's only boy, but her | favorite one it | seems - |
C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | C | |
She be | gan to cry when you | said | good | bye - and | sank into your | dreams. |
C | G | |
Pancho was a bandit boy, | his horse was fast as polished steel; |
F | C | G | |
He wore his gun outside his pants | for all the honest | world to feel. |
F | C | F | |
Pancho met his match you know on the | deserts down in | Mexico |
C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | F | |
Nobody heard his | dy | ing | words, ah but | that's the way it | goes. |
F | C | F | |
And | all the Federales say - | they could have had him | any day; |
C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | C | |
They | only let him | hang | a | round - out of | kindness, I sup | pose. |
C | G | |
Lefty, he can't sing the blues | all night long like he used to. |
F | C | G | |
The dust that Pancho bit down south | ended up in | Lefty's mouth; |
F | C | F | |
The day they laid poor Pancho low, | Lefty split for | Ohio |
C | F | C | G | G | Am | G | F | |
Where he got the | bread | to | go, there | ain't nobody | knows |
And all the Federales say - they could have had him any day; |
They only let him slip away - out of kindness, I suppose. |
C | G | |
Well the boys tell how Pancho fell, and | Lefty's living in a cheap hotel |
F | C | G | |
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold, | and so the story | ends we're told. |
F | C | F | |
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true, but | save a few for | Lefty too |
C | F | C | G | F | Am | G | F | |
He just did what he | had | to | do, and | now he's growing | old. |
A few gray Federales say they could have had him any day; |
They only let him go so wrong - out of kindness, I suppose. |
A few gray Federales say... |
305. Waiting Around to Die
Townes Van Zandt / Townes Van Zandt: Townes Van Zandt (1969)
Am | Dm | |
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty | road is taking me, |
Am | Em | |
Some | times I don't even know the reason | why. |
Am | Dm | |
But I | guess I'll keep on gamblin', lots of | booze and lots of ramblin', |
Am | Em | Am | |
It's | easier than just | waitin' around to | die. |
Oh one time, friends, I had a Ma, even had a Pa, |
Well he beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried! |
She told him to take care of me, headed down to Tennessee; |
Well it's easier than just waitin' around to die. |
I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar, |
Oh, she cleaned me out and hid it on the sly! |
Well, I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train; |
It seemed easier than just to wait around to die. |
And my friend said he knew where some easy money was, |
We robbed a man and brother did we fly! |
The posse caught up with me and drug me back to Muskogee, |
And it's two long years waiting around to die. |
Oh, but now I'm out of prison; got me a friend at last. |
He don't drink, or steal, or cheat, or lie! |
Oh, his name is codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen - |
And together we're gonna wait around to die, |
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around to die! |

Jerry Jeff Walker (1968)
C | C/b | Am7 | C/g | F | G | ||
I | knew a man Bo | jangles and he | danced for you | - | In worn out | shoes. |

Mister Bo | jangles | , Mister Bo | jangles | , Mister Bo | jangles, | Dance. |
I met him in a cell in New Orleans - I was down and out. |
He looked at me to be the eyes of age - As he spoke right out. |
He talked of life, talked of life - He laughed slapped his leg a step. |
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Dance. |
He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick - Across the cell. |
He grabbed his pants a better stance - Oh he jumped up high, |
He clicked his heels, he let go a laugh, let go a laugh - Shook back his clothes all around. |
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Dance. |
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs - Throughout the south. |
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and he - Traveled about. |
His dog up and died, up and died - After twenty years he still grieved, |
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Dance. |
He said, "I dance now at every chance in honky tonks - For drinks and tips. |
But most the time I spend behind these county bars," He said, - "I drinks a bit." |
He shook his head and he shook his head - I heard someone ask him "Please, |
Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Mister Bojangles, Dance, |
Dance!" |

And now you dare to look me in the eye, Those crocodile tears are what you cry! |
If it's a genuine problem you won't try - To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by. |
Substitute - me for him! Substitute - my Coke for gin! |
Substitute - you for my Mum! Substitute - at least I'll get my washing done! |
But I'm a substitute for another guy; I look pretty tall but my heels are high; |
The simple things you see are all complicated; I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah! |
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth. |

Rick Evans / Zager & Evans (1968)
Em | D | |
In the year 25-25, | if a man is still alive |
C | B7 | |
If woman can survive they may | find |
Em | D | |
In the year 35-35, | ain't gonna need to tell the truth tell no lies; |
C | B7 | |
Everything you think, do and say | is in the pill you took today. |
In the year 45-45, ain't gonna need no teeth won't need your eyes. |
You won't find a thing to chew nobody's gonna look at you. |
In the year 55-55 your arms are hanging limp at your side. |
Your legs got nothing to do, some machines doin' that for you. |
Fm | Eb | |
In the year 65-65 | ain't gonna need no husband won't need no wife. |
C# | C7 | |
You'll pick your sons pick your daughters too | from the bottom of a long glass tube. |
In the year 75-10 if god is comin' he oughta make it by then. |
Maybe he'll look around himself and say: "Now it's time for the judgement day!" |
In the year 85-10 god is gonna shake his mighty hand. |
He'll either say: I'm pleased where man has been! Or tear it down and start again! |
F#m | E | |
In the year 95-95 | I'm kind a wond'ring if man is still alive. |
D | C#7 | |
He's taken everything this old earth could give | and he ain't put back nothin'! |
Now it's been ten thousand years man has cried a billion tears. |
For what he never knew now man reign is through! |
But through eternal night the twinklin' of starlight |
so very far away maybe it's only yesterday. |
F#m | |
In the year 25-25... |

Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof, You saw her bathing on the roof |
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya |
And she tied you to her kitchen chair, And she broke your throne and she cut your hair, |
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
Well, baby, I've been here before, I've seen this room and I've walked this floor |
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya |
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch, And love is not a victory march, |
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
Well, there was a time when you let me know - What's really going on below, |
But now you never show that to me, do ya? |
But remember when I moved in you, And the holy dove was moving too |
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
Well, maybe there is a God above - But all I've ever learned from love, |
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya. |
And it's not a cry that you hear at night; It's not somebody who's seen the light, |
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, |
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah... |

Walking with your | wild best friend |
Now my conductress on the number nineteen, she was a honey (she was a honey) |
pink toenails and hands all dirty with the money |
greasy greasy greasy hair, easy smile |
made me feel nineteen, for awhile |
and I went down to Chinatown |
in the backroom it's a man's world, all the money go down |
Duck inside the doorway, duck to eat |
just ain't no way, you and me, we can't beat |
And I'm walking in the wild west end - Walking in the wild west end |
Walking with your wild best friend |
Now the gogo dancing girl, yes I saw her |
the deejay, he say, "Here's Mandy for Ya" |
I feel all right to have seen her do that stuff |
She's dancing high, I move on by, the close-ups can get rough |
when you're walking in the wild west end - walking in the wild west end |
3x | Am | G | F | D | C | D | |
Walking with your wild best friend |

Some say | love it is a | razor that | leeds your | soul to | bleed. |
Em | Am7 | F | G7sus4 | G7 | ||

350. Where the Wild Roses Grow
Nick Cave / Kylie Minogue & Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (1995)
Em | A5 | Em | |
He | called me the wild | ro- | ose |
G | B | |
But my | name was Elisa | Day. |
Em | A5 | Em | |
Why he | called me that I do not | kno- | ow |
Em | D5 | Em | |
For my | name was | Elisa | Day. |
Em | G | |
From the | first day I saw her I knew | she was the one |
Em | B | |
She | stared in my eyes and | smiled. |
Em | G | |
Her | lips were the colour of the | roses |
Em | B | |
That | grow down the river all | bloody and wild. |
Em | G | |
When he | knocked on my door and | entered the room |
Am | B | |
My | trembling subsided in | his sure embrace. |
Em | G | |
He would | be my first man and | with a careful hand |
Am | B | B7 | |
He | wiped off the tears that | run down my face. |
He called me the wild rose - But my name was Elisa Day. |
Why he called me that I do not know - For my name was Elisa Day. |
On the second day I brought her a flower |
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen. |
I said "Do you know where the wild roses grow |
so sweet and scarlet and free?" |
On the second day he came with a single red rose |
He said "Give me your lust and your sorrow." |
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed |
"If I show you the roses, will you follow?" |
He called me the wild rose - But my name was Elisa Day. |
Why he called me that I do not know - For my name was Elisa Day. |
On the third day he took me to the river |
He showed me the roses and we kissed. |
And the last thing I heard was a martyr word |
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist. |
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow |
She lay on the banks the wind light as a thief. |
And I kissed her goodbye, said "All beauty must die." |
And I leant down and planted a rose between her teeth. |
He called me the wild rose - But my name was Elisa Day. |
Why he called me that I do not know - For my name was Elisa Day. |

Lookin' down from a hotel room - Nightfall will be comin' soon. |
Oh my my, oh hell yes, |
You've got to put on that party dress. |
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone, |
I hit the last number, I walked to the road. |
There's pidgeons down in Market Square - She's standin' in her underwear. |
Lookin' down from a hotel room - Nightfall will be comin' soon. |

360. Tweeter and the Monkeyman
Bob Dylan, the Traveling Wilburys / the Traveling Wilburys: Vol. 1 (1988)
Am | Am | G | ||
( | intro) | Tweeter and the Monkey Man were | hard up for cash. |
F | Am | |
They stayed | up all night selling | cocaine and hash |
Am | G | |
To an | undercover cop who had a | sister named Jane, |
F | Am | |
For | reasons unexplained, she | loved the Monkey Man. |
Am | G | |
Tweeter was a boy scout before she | went to Vietnam |
F | Am | |
And | found it out the hard way no | body gives a damn. |
Am | G | |
They | knew that they found freedom just a | cross the Jersey Line, |
F | Am | |
So they | hopped into a stolen car, took | Highway 99. |
Am | Em7 | |
And the | walls came down, | all the way to hell, |
D | Am | Am | D | Am | |
Never | saw them when they're standing, never | saw them when they fell. ( | bridge) |
Am | G | |
The undercover cop | never liked the Monkey Man, |
F | Am | |
Even back in childhood he wanted to | see him in the can. |
Am | G | |
Jane got married at fourteen to | a racketeer named Bill, |
F | Am | |
She made | secret calls to the Monkey Man from a | mansion on the hill. |
Am | G | |
It was out on Thunder Road, | Tweeter at the wheel. |
F | Am | |
They | crashed into paradise, they could | hear them tires squeal. |
Am | G | |
The undercover cop pulled up and said " | Everyone of you's a liar! |
F | Am | |
If you | don't surrender now, it's gonna | go down to the wire." |
Am | Em7 | |
And the | walls came down, | all the way to hell, |
D | Am | Am | D | Am | |
Never | saw them when they're standing, never | saw them when they fell. ( | bridge) |
Am | G | |
An ambulance rolled up, a | state trooper close behind, |
F | Am | |
Tweeter took his gun away and | messed up his mind. |
Am | G | |
The undercover cop was left | tied up to a tree, |
F | Am | |
Near the | souvenir stand by the old a | bandoned factory. |
Am | G | |
Next day the undercover cop was | hot in pursuit, |
F | Am | |
He was | taking the whole thing personal, he didn't | care about the loot. |
Am | G | |
Jane had told him many times it was | you to me who taught: |
F | Am | |
In | Jersey anything's legal as | long as you don't get caught! |
Am | Em7 | |
And the | walls came down, | all the way to hell, |
D | Am | Am | D | Am | |
Never | saw them when they're standing, never | saw them when they fell. ( | bridge) |
Am | G | |
Someplace by Rahway Prison | they ran out of gas, |
F | Am | |
The | undercover cop had cornered them, said " | Boy, you didn't think that this could last" |
Am | G | |
Jane jumped out of the bed, said "There's | someplace I gotta go!" |
F | Am | |
She took a | gun out of the drawer and said "It's | best if you don't know." |
Am | G | |
The undercover cop was found face | down in a field, |
F | Am | |
The | monkey man was on the river bridge using | Tweeter as a shield. |
Am | G | |
Jane said to the Monkey Man, "I'm not | fooled by Tweeter's curl! |
F | Am | |
I | knew him long before he ever be | came a Jersey girl." |
Am | Em7 | |
And the | walls came down, | all the way to hell, |
D | Am | Am | D | Am | |
Never | saw them when they're standing, never | saw them when they fell. ( | bridge) |
Am | G | |
Now the town of Jersey City is | quieting down again, |
F | Am | |
I'm | sitting in a gambling club | called the "Lion's Den". |
Am | G | |
The | TV set been blown up, every | bit of it is gone, |
F | Am | |
Ever since the nightly news show that the | Monkey Man was on. |
Am | G | |
I guess I'll go to Florida and | get myself some sun, |
F | Am | |
There | ain't no more opportunity here, | everything's been done. |
Am | G | |
Sometime I think of Tweeter, some | times I think of Jane, |
F | Am | |
Some | times I don't think about nothing but the | Monkey Man. |
Am | Em7 | |
And the | walls came down, | all the way to hell, |
D | Am | Am | D | Am | |
Never | saw them when they're standing, never | saw them when they fell. ( | bridge) |

I have held the hand of the Devil |
It was warm in the night, I was cold as stone. |
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. |
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. |
I believe in the kingdom come, |
Then all the colors will bleed into one. |
Bleed into one, But yes I'm still running. |
You broke the bonds, and you loose the chains; |
carry the cross of my shame |
of my shame, you know I believe it! |
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. |
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. |

They only hit you until you cry |
And after that you don't ask why |
You just don't argue anymore |
You just don't argue anymore |
You just don't argue anymore |
Yes I think I'm OK |
I walked into the door again |
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say |
And it's not your business anyway |

With nothing broken, nothing thrown |
Just don't ask me how I am |
Just don't ask me how I am |

C | E | Am | F | G | C | |
This is the | first day of my | life - | Swear I was | born right in the | doorway |
C | E | Am | |
I went out in the | rain, suddenly everything | changed |
D7 | G | |
They're spreading | blankets on the | beach |
C | E | Am | F | G | C | |
Your's is the | first face that I | saw - | Think I was | blind before I | met you |
C | E | Am | |
Don't know where I | am, don't know where I've | been |
D7 | G | |
But I know | where I want to | go |
C | G | Am | F | G | |
So I | thought I'd | let you | know - That these | things take for | ever |
C | C/B | Am | |
I e | special | ly am | slow |
Dm9 | C | |
But I | realized how I need you and I wondered if I could come home |
G | Am | (Riff 1) | |
C | E | Am | F | G | C | |
I remember the | time you drove all | night - | Just to | meet me in the | morning |
C | E | Am | |
I thought it was | strange, you said everything | changed |
D7 | G | |
You felt as | if you'd just woke | up |
C | E | Am | |
And you said, " | This is the | first day of my | life. |
F | G | C | |
I'm glad I didn't | die before I | met you. |
C | E | Am | |
Now I don't | care, I could go any | where with you, |
D7 | G | |
And | I'd probably be | happy." |

367. Another Travelin' Song
Bright Eyes: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning (2005)
A | A | D | ||
Well I’m | changing all my strings, I’m gonna write another travelin' | song. |
A | E | |
about all the billion highways and the cities at the break of | dawn. |
A | D | |
Well I guess the | best that I can do now is pretend that I’ve done nothing | wrong. |
E | D | A | |
and | dream about a train that’s gonna | take me back where I be | long. |
A | D | |
Now the | ocean speaks and spits and I can hear it from the inter | state - |
A | E | |
and I’m | screaming at my brother on the cell phone, he is far | away. |
A | D | |
And I’m saying " | nothing in the past or future ever will feel like to | day - |
E | D | A | |
until we’re | parking in an alley, just | hoping that our shit is | safe". |
D | A | |
So I go | back and forth for | ever; |
D | A | |
All my | thoughts, they come in | pairs. |
D | C#m | Bm | |
Well I | will, I won’t, I | doubt, I don’t, I’m | not surprised; |
D | E | A | |
But I | never feel | quite pre | pared. |
A (muted) | D (muted) | |
Now I’m | hunched over a typewriter, I guess you’d call that painting in a | cave. |
A (muted) | E (muted) | |
And there’s a | word I can’t remember and a feeling I can not es | cape |
A (muted) | D (muted) | |
And now my | ashtray’s overflowing I’m still staring at a clean white | page. |
E | D | A | |
And morning’s at my window and she is | sending me to bed a | gain. |
A | D | |
Well I | dreamed of dark on the horizon, I dreamed a desert where the dead laid | down. |
A | D | |
I | dreamed a prostituted child touching an old man in a fast food | crowd. |
A | D | |
Oh Yeah I | dreamt a ship was sinking, there was people screaming all a | round. |
E | D | A | |
And I a | woke to my alarm clock, it was a | pop song, it was playing | loud. |
D | A | |
So I will | find my fears and | face them |
D | A | |
Or I will | cower like a | dog. |
D | C#m | |
I will | kick and scream or | kneel and plead, |
Bm | D | E | A | |
I will | fight like hell to | hide that I’m | giving | up. |

G | |
Two days past eighteen he was waiting for the bus in his army greens. |
C | G | |
Sat | down at a booth in a cafe there, | gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair. |
G | |
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile and he said "Would you mind |
C | G | |
Sittin' down for a while and | talking to me, I'm feeling a little | low?" |
F | C | G | |
She said "I'm | off in an hour and | I know where we can | go." |
G | |
So they went down and they sat on the pier he said |
C | G | |
"I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care I've | got no one to send a letter | to. |
Am | C | G | |
Would you | mind if I sent | one back here to | you?" |
Am | C | G | |
I cried - | Never gonna hold the hand of another guy! " | Too young for him" they told her - |
D | Am | |
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier: | Our love will never end! |
C | G | |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again: | Never more to be alone, |
D | G | |
When the letters said, a soldiers coming | home. |
G | |
So the | letters came from an army camp, in California, then Vietnam. |
C | G | |
And he | told her of his heart, might be lovin' all | of this he was so scared of. |
G | |
He said when things were getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day |
C | G | |
Sittin' down at the pier and I | close my eyes and see your pretty | smile |
F | C | G | |
Don't | worry, but I won't be | able to write for a | while. |
I cried - Never gonna hold the hand of another guy! "Too young for him" they told her - |
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier: Our love will never end! |
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again: Never more to be alone, |
When the letters said, a soldiers coming home. |
G | |
It was | friday night at a football game, the Lord's prayer said and the anthem sang. |
C | G | |
A | man said: "Folks, would you bow your head for a | list of local Vietnam dead?" |
G | |
Cryin' all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band |
C | G | F | C | G | |
And | one name read and nobody really | cared - But a | pretty little girl | with a bow in her | hair. |
I cried - Never gonna hold the hand of another guy! "Too young for him" they told her - |

He lights a cigarette, his eyes half open |
He won't be home tonight, but she keeps hopin' |
Drinkin himself to sleep is his only way of copein' |
She waits for him every night, she leaves the front door open |
It's 4 AM and doin 95, Tryin to stay awake and make it home alive |
White Trash Beautiful, There's something you should know... |
Her lips say painted red, nametag's crooked |
Her heart's been gone awhile with the truck driving man that took it |
He keeps her photograph on his rearview mirror |
She prays for him every night, she hopes that he can hear her |
White Trash Beautiful, There's something you should know... |
I'm comin' home to you |

The | water sus | tains me with | out even | trying |
C | G | Am | F | C | |
The | water can't | drown me, I'm | done - With my | dy-y- | ing. |
Please help me build a small boat, - One that'll ride on the flow. |
Where the river runs deep - And the larger fish creep |
I'm glad of what keeps me afloat |
The water sustains me without even trying |
The water can’t drown me, I’m done - With my dying. |
Now deeper the water I sail, - And faster the current I'm in. |
That each night brings the stars - And the song in my heart |
Is a tune for the Journeyman's tale. |
The water sustains me without even trying |
The water can’t drown me, I’m done - With my dying. |

So wide is my | river - | The horizon a | sliver - |
C | G | Am | F | |
The artist has | run out of | paint. |
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky - |
And the big yellow sun leads me home. |
I'm everywhere now - The way is a vow |
To the wind of each breath by and by. |
The water sustains me without even trying |
The water can’t drown me, I’m done - With my dying. |

But I'd rather walk alone than chase you around |
I'd rather fall myself than let you drag me on down |
It wouldn't have worked out anyway |
and now it's just another lonely day |
hey, hey |
Further along, we just may |
But for now it's just another lonely day |
Yesterday seems like a life ago |
'Cause the one I loved today I hardly know |
You I held so close in my heart oh dear |
Grow further from me with every falling tear |
It wouldn't have worked out anyway |
So now it's just another lonely day |
hey, hey |

380. Beloved One
Ben Harper
C9 | Dsus4 | |
We have both been | here before |
G | G/F# | Em7 | |
Knocking | upon | love's door |
C9 | Dsus4 | Em7 | |
Begging for some | one to let us | in |
Knowing this we can agree |
To keep each other company |
Never to go down that road again |
C9 | G | Dsus4 | G | C9 | G | Dsus4 | |
My | yy | yyyyyy | yy | yy be | loved | one |
C9 | G | Dsus4 | |
My | yy be | loved | one |
Your eyes shine through me |
You are so divine to me |
Your heart has a home in mine |
We won't have to say a word |
With a touch all shall be heard |
When I search my heart it's you I find |
My beloved one |
My beloved one |
My beloved one |
You were meant for me |
I believe you were sent to me |
From a dream straight into my arms |
Hold your body close to me |
You mean the most to me |
We will keep each other safe from harm |
My beloved one |
My beloved one |
My beloved one |
My beloved one |
381. Burn One Down
Ben Harper
G | |
Let us burn one, from end to end |
Em | C | |
And pass it over to | me my friend |
G | |
Burn it long, but burn it slow, |
Em | C | |
to | light me up be | fore I go |
G | Em | |
If you | don't like my fire, then | don't come around |
G | D | G | |
Cause I'm gonna | burn one | down |
Em | D | G | |
Yes I'm gonna | burn one | down |
My choice is what I choose to do |
And if I'm causing no harm why should it bother you |
Your choice is who you choose to be |
And if you're causing no harm, then you're alright with me |
If you don't like my fire then don't come around |
Cause I'm gonna burn one down |
Yes I'm gonna burn one, down |
Herb's a gift, from the earth |
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth |
So before you knock it, try it first |
Oh you'll see it's a blessing and it's not a curse |
If you don't like my fire then don't come around |
Cause I'm gonna burn one down |
Yes I'm gonna burn one, down |
382. Fight Outta You
Ben Harper
A | |
They'll look you | in the eyes and stone you, then turn and disown you |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
A | |
they'll walk all | over your name, til they find someone else to blame |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
A | |
secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
A | |
they put the | world on a hook, it's worse every time I look |
F#m | |
don't | let it take the fight outta you |
D | Bm7 | |
I would rather take the | punch |
F#m | |
than not give you a | shot |
D | Bm7 | |
I'd | rather find out who you | are |
F#m | |
Than who | you're not |
D | |
shoulda known better |
Bm7 | F#m | |
than to | mistake business for | love |
D | |
shoulda known better |
Bm7 | F#m | E | |
than to | mistake a fist for a | glove |
it will be in your honor til you're not needed any longer |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
don't believe the headlines, check it for yourself sometimes |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
the lies you live become you, the love you lose it numbs you |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
they say that you've arrived; that's just a high class bribe |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
I would rather take your punch |
than not give you a shot |
I'd rather find out who you are |
Than who you're not |
shoulda known better |
than to mistake business for love |
shoulda known better |
than to mistake a fist for a glove |
there's always someone younger, someone with more hunger |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
they'll say you're one and only, then straight up leave you lonely |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
like a transplant patient waiting for a donor |
don't let it take the fight outta you |
like a half empty balloon after a party in the corner |
don't let it take the fight outta you |

With you i am blessed |
Now the river may grow wider |
The mountains may reach past the sky |
And whether or not you feel the same |
My love shall never die |
My love shall never die |
But true love is give and take |
True love is sacrifice |
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you |
Not fire no not ice |
Not fire no not ice |

Not fire | no not | ice |

Don't | do me any | favors |
E | D | A | E | D | A | |
matter of | fact why don't | you - | do your | self a | few |
your presence ain't nobody's blessing |
I've got plenty of other things - I could do |
oh no, not another excuse |
your tired silly games - for me are just no use |
and now it's plain for me to see |
you're with somebody - that you don't wanna be |
so won't you |
please please me like you want to - not like you have to |
or won't you just go on and leave me |
leaving me is the least that you could do |
you could have spared me so much misery |
and told me you just wanted - a friend |
believe me there is a difference |
when you mean it - and when you pretend |
or was I just your habit |
cause I know a habit - is a hard thing to break |
but won't you spare me a little mercy |
there's only so much - so much that I can take |
so won't you |
please please me like you want to - not like you have to |
or won't you just go on and leave me |
leaving me is the least that you could do |
386. Power Of The Gospel
Ben Harper
Bitte 2:30 min Intro Spielen
Em | C | |
It will make a weak man | mighty |
D | Em | |
It will | make a mighty man | fall |
It will fill your heart and hands |
Or leave you with nothing at all |
It's the eyes for the blind |
The legs for the lame |
It is the love for hate |
and pride for shame |
Em | |
Now | that's the power of the gospel |
B | |
That's the power of the | gospel |
Em | C | |
That's the power of the | mighty power |
B | Em | |
That's the power of the | gospel |
Gospel on the water |
Gospel in the trees |
The gospel thats inside of you |
The gospel inside of me |
The gospel in the garden |
Gospel in the land |
The gospel in every woman |
The gospel in every man |
Now that's the power of the gospel |
That's the power of the gospel |
That's the power of the mighty power |
That's the power of the gospel |
In the hour of richness |
In the hour of need |
For all of creation |
Come from the gospel seed |
And you may leave tomorrow |
And you may leave today |
But you've got to have the gospel |
When you start out on your way |
Now that's the power of the gospel |
That's the power of the gospel |
That's the power of the mighty power |
That's the power of the gospel |
387. Roses From My Friends
Ben Harper
G | D | Am | |
I could have | treated you | better |
But you couldn't have treated me worse |
But it's he who laughs last |
It is he who cries first |
Sometimes I feel I know strangers |
better than I know my friends |
Why must a beginning |
be the means to an end? |
G | D | |
The stones from my | enemies |
Em | C | |
these wounds will | mend |
Em | D | |
But | I cannot sur | vive |
C | G | |
the | roses from my | friends |
When the last word has been spoken |
and we've beared witness to the final setting sun |
All that shall remain is a token |
of what we've said and done |
When all we've had has been forsaken |
And distant church bells no longer ring |
That's the sound of a heart taken |
and the story of tears from a king |
The stones from my enemies |
these wounds will mend |
But I cannot survive |
the roses from my friends |
This may be the last time I see you |
Forgive me for holding you close. |
This may be the last time I see you |
So of this moment I will make the most. |
This may be the last time I see you, |
But if you keep me in your heart - |
together we shall be eternal |
If you believe - we shall never part. |
The stones from my enemies |
These wounds will mend |
But I cannot survive |
the roses from my friends |

Would you hear me if I | told you |

Did you find what you were | after? |
G | A | D | |
The pain and the | laughter | brought you to your | knees. |
D | Em | |
But if the sun sets you | free, |
G | A | D | D7 | |
Sets you | free - | You'll be free in | deed, In | deed. |
G | A | Bm | Bm | A | G | |
She's only | happy in the | sun, |

She's only | happy in the | su-u- | un. |
D | Em7 | |
Every time I hear you | laughing, |
G | A | D | |
I hear you | laughing - | It makes me | cry. |
D | Em7 | G | A | D | D7 | |
Like the story of | life, of your | life - | Is hello, good | bye- | ye. |

389. Steal My Kisses
Ben Harper
G | C6 | D6 | G | |
I put into Nashville, Tennessee |
But you wouldn't even come around to see me |
And since you're headin' up to Carolina |
You know I gonna be right there behind you |
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Now I love to feel that warm southern rain |
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing |
And to see it fall on your simple country dress |
It's like heaven to me I must confess |
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Now I've been hangin' around you for days |
But when I lean in you just turn your head away |
I know you didn't mean that |
She said I love the way you think but I hate the way you act |
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |
Always have to steal my kisses from you |

Now the drugs don't work - They just make you worse - |
But I know I'll see your face again. |
And now the drugs don't work - They just make you worse - |
But I know I'll see your face again. |
But I know i'm on a losing streak - As I pass down by your street |
And if you want a show - Just let me know, |
And I'll sing in your ear again. |
Now the drugs don't work - They just make you worse - |
But I Know I'll see your face again. |
F | G | Am | |
So baby - | oo | oh - If Heaven | calls - |

If you leave my | life - I'm better off | dead! |
All this talk of getting old - Is getting me down my love. |
Like a cat in the bag - Waiting to drown - |
This time I'm calming down. |
Drugs don't work - They just make you worse - |
But I know I'll see your face again |
So baby - oooh - If Heaven calls - |
I'm coming too, And like you said: |
If you leave my life - I'm better off dead |
But if you want a show - Just let me know - |
And I'll sing in your ear again. |

Oh no, Here comes that sun again |
That means another day without you my friend |
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself |
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else |
And it's so hard to do - And so easy to say- |
But sometimes, sometimes - You just have to walk away - |
Walk away. |
So many people to love in my life |
Why do i worry about one |
But'a you put the happy in my ness |
You put the good times into my fun |
And it's so hard to do - And so easy to say. |
But sometimes, sometimes - You just have to walk away; |
Walk away - And head for the door. |
Bridge | |
We've tried the goodbyes - So many days. |
We walk in the same direction |
So that we could never stray. |
They say if you love somebody |
Then you have got to set them free. |
But I would rather be locked to you |
Verse | |
than live in this pain and mise- | ry |
They say that time will make all this go away; |
But its time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays. |
And once again that rising sun is a'droppin' on down, |
And once again you, my friend, are nowhere to be found. |
And it's so hard to do - And so easy to say. |
But sometimes, sometimes - You just have to walk away; |
Walk away - And head for the door. |

I hope this old | train breaks down - | Then I could take a | walk around. |
G | Bm | Em | D | |
And, see what there | is to see - | And time is just a | melody. |
G | Bm | |
With all the | people in the street - Walk as | fast as their feet can take them. |
Em | D | G | |
I just roll through | town - And though my | window's got a view, well |
Bm | Em | D | |
The | frame I'm looking through - Seems to | have no concern for | now, so for now. |
G | G/f# | Em | D | |
I | need this - | Old train to | breakdown. |

So I don't even | make a sound - | It's gunna sting me when I | leave this town. |
G | Bm | |
All the | people in the street - That I'll | never get to meet. |
Em | D | G | Bm | |
If these | tracks don't bend some | how - And | I got no time - That | I got to get to |

G | Bm | |

Em | D | |
The | wisdom's in the trees - Not the | glass windows. |
G | Bm | |
You | can't stop wishing - If you | don't let go, |
Em | D | |
But | things that you find. And you | lose, and you know |
G | Bm | |
You | keep on rolling, - Put the | moment on hold. |

394. Bubble Toes
Jack Johnson
D | A | |
It's as | simple as something that | nobody knows |
Em | C | |
that her | eyes are as big as her | bubbly toes |
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards |
G | |
and her feet are all covered with tar balls - and | scars. |
It's as common as something that nobody knows |
that her beauty will follow wherever she goes |
up the hill in the back of her house in the wood |
she'd love me forever, I know - she could. |
I remember when, you and me, Mmmmh how we used to be - |
G | C | D | |
just good friends, wouldn't give me none, But all I wanted was - | some |
G | |
She's got a whole lot of reasons, she cant think of a |
C | D | |
single one that can | justify leaving |
and he got none but he thinks he got so many |
problems and he got, too much time to - waste. |
His dreams are like commercials, but her dreams are picture perfect and our |
Dreams are so related though they're often underestimated. |
Zwischenspiel
G | C | D | |
It's as simple as something that nobody knows |
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes |
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards |
her feet are infested with tar balls, and |
La da da da da da - La da da da da da da - La da da da da da - La da da da da da da |
Well I was eating lunch at the D. L. G. |
When this little girl came and she sat next to me |
never seen nobody move the way she did |
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again |
When you move like a jellyfish, rhythm don't mean nothing |
You go with the flow, you don't stop |
Move like a jellyfish, rhythm is nothing |
You go with the flow, you don't stop - Mmmmh... |
It's as common as something that nobody knows |
that her beauty will follow wherever she goes |
Up the hill in the back of her house in the woods |
She'll love me forever, I know she |
La da da da da da - La da da da da da da - La da da da da da - La da da da da da da |
If you would only listen, you might just |
realize what you're missing, you're missing - me. |
If you would only listen, you might just |
realize what you're missing, you're missing - me. |
It's as simple as something that nobody knows |
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes |
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards |
her feet are infested with tar balls and |
La da da da da da - La da da da da da da - La da da da da da - La da da da da da da |
395. F-Stop Blues
Jack Johnson
Intro:
2x | E | G#m | A | E/B | |
Verse:
E | B | A | |
Hermit crabs and cowrie shells, crushed beneath his feet as he comes towards you, |
he's waving at you. |
Lift him up to see what you can see, as he begins his focusing, |
he's aiming at you. |
And now he has, cutaways from memories and closeups of anything |
that he has seen or even dreamed, and now he's finished focusing. |
He's imagining lightning striking, sea sickness |
away from here. |
E | G#m | A | E/B | |
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted, |
how many years and you've barely even tasted, |
anything remotely close to everything you've boasted about. |
Look who's crying now. |
Solo:
2x | E | G#m | A | E/B | |
Driftwood floats after years of erosion. |
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them. |
Quicksand steals my shoes. |
Clouds bring the F-stop blues. |
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted, |
how many years and you've barely even tasted, |
anything remotely close to everything you've boasted about. |
Look who's crying now. |
396. Flake
Jack Johnson
Intro/Strophe
Dm | F | Bb | F | |
I know she said it's alright |
You can make it up next time |
I know she knows it's not right |
There ain't no use in lying |
Maybe she thinks I know something |
Maybe maybe she thinks it's fine |
Maybe she knows something I don't |
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying |
F | C | |
It seems to me that | maybe |
Dm | A | |
It pretty much always | means no |
Bb | C | F | |
So don't tell me you | might just let it | go |
F | C | |
And often times we're | lazy |
Dm | A | |
It seems to stand in | my way |
Bb | C | F | |
'Cause no one, no, not | no one likes to be let | down |
I know she loves the sunrise |
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes and |
I know that when she said she's gonna try |
Well it might not work because of other ties and |
I know she usually has some other ties and |
I wouldn't wanna break 'em, nah, I wouldn't wanna break 'em |
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but |
Until then, well, I'm gonna have to lie to her |
It seems to me that maybe |
It pretty much always means no |
So don't tell me you might just let it go |
And often times we're lazy |
It seems to stand in my way |
'Cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down |

Jack Johnson
F# | |
Brushfire | fairytales |
B | |
Itsy bitsy | diamond wells |
F# | |
Big fat | hurricanes |
B | |
Yellow bellied | given names |
C# | |
Well shortcuts can | slow you down |
B | |
And in the | end we're bound |
F# | C#7 | |
To rebound off of | we |
Well dust off your thinking caps |
Solar powered plastic plants |
Pretty pictures of things we ate |
We are only what we hate |
But in the long run we have found |
Silent films are full of sound |
Inaudibly free |
F# | |
Slow down everyone |
A# | |
You're | moving too fast |
B | |
Frames can't catch you when |
G# | |
You're | moving like that |
F# | |
Inaudible melodies |
A# | |
Serve | narrational strategies |
B | |
Unobtrusive tones |
G# | |
Help to | notice nothing but the zone |
Of visual relevancy |
Frame-lines tell me what to see |
Chopping like an axe |
Or maybe Eisenstein should just relax |
Slow down everyone |
You're moving too fast |
Frames can't catch you when |
You're moving like that |
Well Plato's cave is full of freaks |
Demanding refunds for the things they've seen |
I wish they could believe |
In all the things that never made the screen |
And just slow down everyone |
You're moving too fast |
Frames can't catch you when |
You're moving like that |
Slow down everyone |
You're moving too fast |
Frames can't catch you when you're moving like that |
Moving too fast |

An exciting change in | my butchers | blend, |

A symbol on the ceiling | with the flick of a | switch |
Am | C | G | F | |
Yeah my new found hero | and the enemy's | ditching |
Am | C | G | |
Well somebodies something was | left in a | room |
Am | C | G | |
And now that it's gone well | of course we as | sume |

Somebody else needed | something so | bad |
Am | C | G | F | |
They took everything | somebody | had |

Losing | hope is | easy - | when your only | friend is gone |

And | every time you | look around - |

Well, it all, it | all just | seems to | change! |
Am | C | G | |
The mark was left, man, it's | never the | same. |
Am | C | G | |
Next time that you shoot | make sure | that you aim. |
Am | C | G | |
Open windows with | passing | cars, |
Am | C | G | F | |
A brand new night | with the same old | stars |
Losing hope is easy when your only friend is gone |
And every time you look around - |
Well, it all, it all just seems to change |

Make a | fool of his | mind |

Give him | bottles of | lies |

And | maybe he'll | find |

His | place in | heaven |

Losing hope is easy when your only friend is gone |
And every time you look around - |

400. Taylor
Jack Johnson
C | G | Am | F | |
They say Taylor was a good girl |
Never one to be late |
Complain, express |
Ideas in her brain |
Working on the night shift |
Passing out the tickets |
You're gonna have to pay her |
If you wanna park here |
Well, mommy's little dancer |
Has quite a little secret |
Working on the streets now |
Never gonna keep it |
It's quite an imposition |
And now she's only wishin' |
That she would have listened |
To the words they said |
Poor Taylor |
She just wanders around |
Unaffected by |
The winter winds, yeah |
And she'll pretend that |
Well she's somewhere else |
So far and clear |
About two thousand miles |
From here |
Well, Peter Patrick pitter-patters on the window |
The sunny silhouette won't let him in |
Poor old Pete's got nothing, cause he's been falling |
Somehow, Sonny knows just where he's been |
He thinks that singing on Sunday is gonna save his soul |
Now that Saturday's gone |
Sometimes he thinks, that he's on his way |
But I can see, that his brake lights are on |
He just wanders around |
Unaffected by |
The winter winds, yeah |
And he'll pretend that |
Well he's somewhere else |
So far and clear |
About two thousand miles |
From here |
Such a tough enchilada |
Filled up with nada |
Giving what she gotta |
Give to get a dollar bill |
Used to be a limber chicken |
Times have been a tickin' |
Now she's finger lickin' |
To the man |
With the money in his pocket |
Flying in his rocket |
Only stopping by |
On his way to a better |
C | D | F | G | |
world | If | Taylor finds a better |
C | D | F | G | C | |
world | Then Taylor's gonna run away |

Children waiting for the day they feel good, Happy birthday, happy birthday. |
Made to feel the way that every child should, sit and listen, sit and listen. |
Went to school and I was very nervous, no one knew me, no one knew me. |
Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson; look right through me, look right through me. |
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. |
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've every had. |

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest |

Look into your heart and you'll find | love love, love, love |
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing |
We're just one big family |
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, love, love, loved, |
B7 | |
loved |
So I won't hesitate no more, no more |
It cannot wait I'm sure |
There's no need to complicate |
Our time is short |
This is our fate, I'm yours |
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror |
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer |
But my breath fogged up the glass |
And so I drew a new face and I laughed |
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason |
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons |
It's what we aim to do |
Our name is our virtue |
So I won't hesitate no more, no more |
It cannot wait I'm sure |
There's no need to complicate |
Our time is short |
This is our fate, I'm yours |

Catchin' walleye from the dock watchin' waves roll off the rocks |
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul |
We'd blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come |
To hit that sandy place of rock 'n roll |
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things |

Makin' | love out by the lake to our favorite songs |
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow |
Singin' sweet home Alabama all summer long |
Singin' sweet home Alabama all summer long |

Now nothin' seems as strange as when the leaves began to change |
Oh how we thought those days would never end |
Sometimes I hear that song and I'll start to sing along |
And think man I'd like to see that girl again |
And we were tryin' different things and we were smokin' funny things |
D | |
Makin' | love out by the lake to our favorite songs |
Sippin' whisky out the bottle not thinkin' 'bout tomorrow |
Singin' sweet home Alabama all summer long |

C | Am | |
Crest fallen sidekick in an | old cafe |

never | slept with a dream before he | had to go away |
C | Am | |
there's a | bell in the tower uncle | Ray bought a round |
F | |
Never | worry 'bout the army |
G | G7 | C | |
in the cold | cold | ground |
Am | |
Cold cold | ground |
C | |
Cold cold | ground |
Am | |
Cold cold | ground |
Now don't be a cry baby when there's wood in the shed |
there's a bird in the chimeny and a stone in my bed |
when the road's washed out they pass a bottle around |
and waits in the arms |
of the cold cold . . . |
there's a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope |
and a briar patch of berries takin' over the slope |
the cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town |
till we bury every dream |
in the cold cold . . . |
Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells |
blow the roof of the goat barn let it roll down the hill |
the piano is firewood Times Square is a dream |
I find we lay down together |
in the cold cold . . . |
Call the cops on the Breadloves bring a bible and a rope |
and a whole box of rebel and a bar of soap |
make a pile of trunk tires |
and burn 'em all down bring a dollar with you baby |
in the cold cold . . . |
Take a weather vane rooster throw rocks at his head |
stop talking to the neighbors till we all go dead |
beware of my temper and the dog that I found |
break all the windows |
in the cold cold . . . |
414. Long Way Home

Well I stumbled in the darkness |
I'm lost and alone |
Though I said I'd go before us |
Am | |
And show the way back | home |
F | G | |
There a | light up | ahead |
C | F | |
I | can't hold on very | long |
C | G | C | |
For | give me pretty baby but I | always take the long way | home |
Money's just something you throw |
Off the back of a train |
Got a head full of lightning |
A hat full of rain |
Yes I know that I said |
I'd never do it again |
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home |
I put food on the table |
And a roof overhead |
But I'd trade it all tomorrow |
For the highway instead |
Watch your back if I should tell you |
Love's the only thing I've ever known |
One thing's for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home |
You know I love you baby |
More than the whole wide world |
You are my woman |
You know you are my pearl |
Let's go out past the party lights |
Where we can finally be alone |
Come with me and we can take the long way home |
F | G | C | |
Come with | me, together | we can take the long way | home |
F | G | C | |
Come with | me, together | we can take the long way | home |

Melodie: trad., Text: John Newton (1779)
D | D7 | G | D | D7 | A A7 | |
Am | azing | grace, how | sweet the | sounds,that saved a | wretch like | me. |
D | D7 | G | D | Hm | A | F | D | |
I | once was | lost, but | now I’m | found, was | blind but | now | I | see. |
‘T was grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. |
How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed. |
Thro’s many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come, |
‘Tis grace hath bro’t me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. |
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds, in a believers ear. |
It sooths his sorrows, heals the wounds, and drives away his fear. |
Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free? |
No, there’s a cross for ev’ry one and there’s a cross for me. |

The place where | I was born and | raised. |
B7 | E | |
- The place where | he was born and | raised. - |
For six long years I've been in trouble, |
No pleasures here on earth I found. |
For in this world I'm bound to ramble, |
I have no friends to help me now. |
- He has no friends to help him now. - |
It's fare thee well my old lover, |
I never expect to see you again. |
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad, |
Perhaps I'll die upon this train. |
- Perhaps he'll die upon this train. - |
You can bury me in some deep valley, |
For many years where I may lay. |
Then you may learn to love another, |
While I am sleeping in my grave. |
- While he is sleeping in his grave. - |
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger, |
My face you'll never see no more. |
But there is one promise that is given, |
I'll meet you on God's golden shore. |
- He'll meet you on God's golden shore. - |
421. Dirty Old Town

C | F | C | |
I | met my love by the gas works wall, Dreamed a | dream by the old ca | nal, |
F | G | C | G | Am | |
Kissed | my | girl by the fact'ry wall, Dirty old | town, dirty old | town. |
I heard a siren from the docks, Saw a train set the noght on fire, |
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind, Dirty old town,dirty old town. |
Clouds are drifting across the moon, Cats are prowling on their beat |
Springs a girl from the streets at night, Diriy old town,dirty old town. |
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe, Shining steel,tempered in the fire, |
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree, Dirty old town,dirty old town |
I met my love by the gas works wall, Dreamed a dream by the old canal, |
Kissed my girl by the fact'ry wall, Dirty old town, dirty old town... |

trad., 16th century
Dm | Bb | C | Am | Dm | A | |
A | las, my | love, you | do me | wrong, To | cast me off dis | courteously. |
Dm | Bb | C | Am | Dm | A | Dm | |
For | I have | loved you | well and | long, De | lighting in | your compa | ny. |
F | C | Am | Dm | A | |
Greensleeves was | all my | joy - | Greensleeves was | my delight, |
F | C | Am | Dm | A | Dm | |
Greensleeves was my | heart of | gold, And | who but my | lady | greensleeves. |
Your vows you've broken, like my heart, Oh, why did you so enrapture me? |
Now I remain in a world apart - But my heart remains in captivity. |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. |
I have been ready at your hand, To grant whatever you would crave, |
I have both wagered life and land, Your love and good-will for to have. |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. |
If you intend thus to disdain, It does the more enrapture me, |
And even so, I still remain - A lover in captivity. |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. |
My men were clothed all in green, And they did ever wait on thee; |
All this was gallant to be seen, And yet thou wouldst not love me. |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. |
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, But still thou hadst it readily. |
Thy music still to play and sing; And yet thou wouldst not love me. |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. |
Well, I will pray to God on high, That thou my constancy mayst see, |
And that yet once before I die, Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. |
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, |
For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me. |
Greensleeves was all my joy - Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. |

Now | some people say a man is | made out of | mud |

But a | poor man's made out of | muscle and | blood |
Em | Am | |
Muscle and blood - | skin and bones |
Em | C7 | B7 | |
A | mind that's weak and a | back that's | strong. |
Em | C7 | B7 | Em | C7 | B7 | |
You load | sixteen tons, and | what do you | get - An | other day older and | deeper in | debt |
Em | Am | Em | B7 | Em | |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause | I can't go - I | owe my soul to the | company | store. |
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine |
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine |
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal |
And the straw boss hollered: "Well, a-bless my soul!" |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get - Another day older and deeper in debt |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go - I owe my soul to the company store |
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain. |
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name. |
I was raised in the bottoms by a momma hound. |
I'm mean as a dog but I'm gentle as a lamb. |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get - Another day older and deeper in debt |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go - I owe my soul to the company store |
If you see me comin', better step aside |
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died |
One fist of iron, the other of steel |
If the right one don't a-get you |
Then the left one will |
You load sixteen tons, what do you get - Another day older and deeper in debt |
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go - I owe my soul to the company store |

G | Am | G | Em | D | |
She | looked so sweet from her | two white feet to | the sheen of her | nut-brown | hair. |
Em | G | D | Em | C | D | Em | |
Sure the | coaxing elf I'd to | shake me | self to make | sure I was | stan | ding | there. |

No | Maid I've seen like the | sweet Col | leen that I | met in the | coun | ty | down. |
As she onward sped, sure I shook me head and I gazed with a feeling quare; |
And I said, says I, to a passer-by, who's the maid with the nut-brown hair? |
He smiled at me and with pride says he, that's the gem of Irelands crown. |
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, she's the star of the County Down. |
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town; |
No Maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the county down. |
She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly and a smile like the rose in June; |
And you held each note from her lily-white throat, as she lilted an Irish tune. |
At the pattern dance you were in trance as she tripped through a jig or reel. |
When her eyes she'd roll, she would lift soul - As your heart she would likely steal. |
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town; |
No Maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the county down. |
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there and I'll dress my Sunday clothes. |
With my shoes shon' bright and my hat cocked right for a smile from the nut-brown Rose. |
No pipe I smoke, no horse I'll yoke, let my plough with the rust turn brown; |
'Til a smiling bride by my own fireside sits the star of the County Down. |
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin Town; |
No Maid I've seen like the sweet Colleen that I met in the county down. |

Went back to see my baby: |
Good God! She's lying there dead! Good God! She's lying there dead! |
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her, Wherever she may be! |
She can search this wide world over, |
And never find a man like me, And never find a man like me! |
Well, if I die, please won't you bury me With my high top Stetson hat! |
Put a twenty Dollar gold piece on my watchchain, |
to let the boys know that I'm standing pat, to let the boys know that I'm standing pat! |
Get six gamblers to carry my coffin, Let six pretty girls sing me a song! |
Put a dixieland band behind my hearse wagon, |
To raise Hell while they roll me along, To raise Hell while they roll me along |
Now that's the end of my story; Let's have another round of booze |
And if anyone should ask you: |
I've got the St. James Infirmary blues, I've got the St. James Infirmary blues! |
Let her go, let her go, God bless her,... |

Against the famine and the crown I rebelled, they cut me down. |
Now you must raise our child with dignity. |
Low lie the Fields of Athenry, where once we watched the small free birds fly. |
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing, |

It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. |

Right | proudly high o'er | Dublin Town they | hung out the | flag of | war, |

Twas | better die neath an | Irish sky than at | Suvla or | Sud El | Bar; |

And when | morning broke still the | war flag shook out it's | folds in the | Foggy | Dew. |

'Twas | England bade our | Wild Geese go that | small nations | might be | free, |

Back | through the glen I | rode again, and my | heart with | grief was | sore, |

And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight. |
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best |
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest." |
And it's no, nay, never, No nay never no more, |
Will I play the wild rover No never no more. |
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done |
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son. |

"A | live, alive | oh! A | live, alive | oh!" |
C | C/B | Am7 | C | G7 | C | |
Crying: " | Cockles | and | mussels, a | live, a | live | oh!" |
She was a fishmonger and sure 'twas no wonder, |
for so were her father and mother before. |
And they both wheeled their barrow, through streets broad and nallow. |
Crying: "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |
"Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!" |
Crying: "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |
She died of a fever and no one could save her, |
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone. |

Crying: "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |
"Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!" |
Crying: "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |

She | sighed and swore that she | never would deceive me, |
C | G | Em | |
But the | devil take the women for they | never can be | easy. |
Mu-sha ring doma-du doma-da ... |
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber, |
I dreamed of gold and girls - And for sure it was no wonder. |
Me Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water, |
And set for Caotain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter: |
Mu-sha ring doma-du doma-da ... |
First early in the morning - Just before I rose to travel, |
A-comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell. |
I first produced me pistol for she stole away my rapier, |
But I couldn't shoot the water for a prisoner I was taken. |
Mu-sha ring doma-du doma-da ... |
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a'rolling, |
and others take delight in the hurley and the bowling. |
But I takes delight in the juice of the barley, |
and courting pretty fair-maids in the morning quite so early. |
Mu-sha ring doma-du doma-da ... |
If anyone can aid me it is me brother the in the army, |
If I can find he's stationed in Cork or in Killarney. |
And if he'll go with me we'll go rolling in Kilkenny, |
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me only sporting Jenny. |
Mu-sha ring doma-du doma-da ... |

Die Ärzte
G | Em | |
Hal | lo, mein Schatz, ich liebe Dich - Du | bist die einzige für mich! |
C | D | |
Die | andern find' ich alle doof, des | wegen mach ich Dir den Hof. |
G | Em | |
Du | bist so anders, ganz speziell, ich | merke sowas immer schnell. |
C | D | |
Jetzt | zieh Dich aus und leg Dich hin - weil | ich so verliebt in Dich bin. |
C | Bm | Am | D | |
Gleich wird es dunkel, | bald ist es Nacht, da | ist ein Wort der Warnung ange | bracht: |
G | Em | |
Männer sind | Schweine - traue ihnen | nicht, mein Kind |
Am | C9 | D | |
sie wollen | alle das eine - weil | Männer nun mal so | sind |
Ein Mann fühlt sich erst dann als Mann wenn er es Dir besorgen kann. |
Er lügt, daß sich die Balken biegen nur, um Dich ins Bett zu kriegen! |
Und dann am nächsten Morgen weiß er nicht einmal mehr, wie Du heisst. |
Rücksichtslos und ungehemmt; Gefühle sind ihm völlig fremd. |
Für ihn ist Liebe gleich Samenverlust - Mädchen, sei Dir dessen stets bewußt! |
Männer sind Schweine - frage nicht nach Sonnenschein. |
Ausnahmen gibt's leider keine - in jedem Mann steckt auch immer ein Schwein. |
Männer sind Säue - glaube ihnen nicht ein Wort. |
Sie schwör'n Dir ewige Treue - und dann am nächsten Morgen sind sie fort. |
yeah yeah yeah |
(Bridge mit G-Dur als Begleitung)
Männer? diese schrecklichen, haarigen Biester, die alles |
antatschen müssen und dabei wollen sie alle nur dasselbe von einem Mädchen. |
Und falls Du doch den Fehler machst und Dir 'nen Ehemann anlachst |
mutiert dein Rosenkavalier bald nach der Hochzeit auch zum Tier. |
Da zeigt er dann sein wahres Ich ganz unrasiert und widerlich. |
Trinkt Bier, sieht fern und wird schnell fett und rülpst und furzt im Ehebett! |
Dann hast du'n KingKong zum Ehemann. Drum sag ich Dir (denk bitte stets daran): |
Männer sind Schweine - traue ihnen nicht, mein Kind. |
sie wollen alle nur das eine - für wahre Liebe sind sie blind. |
Männer sind Ratten - begegne ihnen nur mit List. |
Sie wollen alles begatten was nicht bei drei auf den Bäumen ist. |
Männer sind Schweine - frage nicht nach Sonnenschein. |
Ausnahmen gibt's leider keine, in jedem Mann steckt auch immer ein Schwein! |
Männer sind Autos nur ohne Reserverad... |

Wenn | früh am Morgen die Werkssirene dröhnt |

Und die | Stechuhr beim Stechen lustvoll stöhnt; |

In der Mon | tagehalle die Neonsonne strahlt |

Und der | Gabelstaplerführer mit der Stapelgabel prahlt: |

Ja | dann wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt, |

Und | jetzt kniet er sich wieder mächtig rein! |
Ja jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt, |
Wir steigern das Bruttosozialprodukt; |
Ja, ja, jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt! |
Wenn sich Opa am Sonntag auf sein Fahrrad schwingt |
Und heimlich in die Fabrik eindringt, |
Dann hat Oma Angst, daß er zusammenbricht, |
Denn Opa macht heute wieder Sonderschicht: |
Ja jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt, |
Wir steigern das Bruttosozialprodukt; |
Ja, ja, jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt! |
An Weihnachten liegen alle rum und sagen: Puuh! |
Der Abfalleimer geht schon nicht mehr zu, |
Die Gabentische werden immer bunter, |
Und am Mittwoch kommt die Müllabfuhr |
Und holt den ganzen Plunder - und sagt: |
Ja jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt, |
Wir steigern das Bruttosozialprodukt; |
Ja, ja, jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt! |
Wenn früh am Morgen die Werkssirene dröhnt |
Und die Stechuhr beim Stechen lustvoll stöhnt: |
Dann hat einen nach dem andern die Arbeitswut gepackt |
Und jetzt singen sie zusammen im Arbeitstakt, Takt, Takt: |
Ja jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt, |
Wir steigern das Bruttosozialprodukt; |
Ja, ja, jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt! |

Wir | wollten in die U-Bahn, doch | da gab's gleich Rabbatz. |
D | G | |
Für mein | Pferd war da drin kein | Platz. |
G | C | |
Ich | rief sofort den Schaffner und | griff nach mein' Colt, |
D | G | |
Der | Schaffner meint sogleich er hat's nich so | gewollt. |
G | C | |
So | bekam ich ganz gewaltlos so | gar ein' Platz zum Sitzen, |
D | G | |
Und | braucht mir keine Kerbe in mein' Colt zu | ritzen. |

Denn ich bin | Hein, Hein von'ne | Werft; und ich | kann's nu' ma' nich' ab wenn man mir | nervt. |

Und wenn mir einer nervt zähl ich bis | acht - Und dann | kriegt er in die Schnauze bis er | lacht. |
Wir kamen an'ne Kreuzung und da gab's einen Knall |
Ich flog aus meinem Sattel; mein Pferd das kam zu Fall. |
Das Auto das uns rammte war sehr stark demoliert |
Obwohl der Fahrer meinte er hätt's erst grad' poliert. |
Dann riss er gleich sein Maul auf und rief die Polizei, |
Ich schlug nur meine Faust d'rauf; der Schrei war schnell vorbei. |
Da liegt er nun im Kofferraum und kommt nicht mehr heraus, |
Nach dreieinviertel Stunden kam er ins Krankenhaus. |
Denn ich bin Hein, Hein von'ne Werft; und ich kann's nu' ma' nich' ab wenn man mir nervt. |
Und wenn mir einer nervt zähl ich bis acht - Und dann kriegt er in die Schnauze bis er lacht. |
Wir kam' auch mal mach Hause voll Ruhm und voller Stolz |
Das erste was mir traf - war Ernas Nudelholz. |
Es traf mir hart am Hinterkopf und warf mich an die Tür. |
Sie sagt: "Nu' komm doch rein du armer Tropf, du stinkst ja noch nach Bier!" |
Ich sah nur noch ihr rechtes Knie holt aus zum Pferdekuß |
Dann sah ich nur noch Sterne; ich dacht mich streift 'n Bus. |
Denn ich bin Hein, Hein von'e Werft; Und sie kann's nu' ma' nich ab wenn ich ihr nerv'. |
Und wenn ich ihr ma' nerv' zählt sie bis acht - Und dann krieg ich in die Schnauze bis ich lach. |

Sie wurde | rot und rührte - wie er | tappte Emanzen - in ihrer |

Cola; C.O.L.A. | Cola, | la la la | la Lola. |
Nun seh ich nicht grad aus wie Arnold Mitteregger – |
Ich führe, sagte sie, das klang wie Alfred Dregger, meine Lola; L.O.L.A. Lola. |
Ich bin ja ziemlich blöd, aber so blöd bin ich nicht: |
Sie hatte Haare auf den Zähnen und auch mitten im Gesicht, oh meine |
Lola; L.O.L.A. Lola, la la la la Lola. |

Wenn ich | umfiel, baute sie mich immer wieder auf, Bis sie sagte: " | So, mein Sohn, jetzt gehn wir zu mir rauf!" |
Wenn ich voll bin, bin ich kein Fall für Carmen |
Doch sie nahm mich untern Arm, sie kannte kein Erbarmen, meine |
Lola; la la la la Lola, la la la la Lola. |

Ich sagte: " | Gut dann | eben | nicht." - | Und bestellte noch ein | Bier. |
Ist das nun Liebe oder ist das nur ein schwacher Trost? |
Ich sage immer was ich denke und ich sagte: Prost, auf dein Spezielles, Lola, L.O.L.A. Lola. |
Girls heißen Alf und Boys heißen George, |
nicht nur in London sondern jetzt auch schon in Dortmund-Nord - und er hieß |
Lola, la la la la Lola. |

Ich | war gerade erst zuhause ausgezogen, Ich | hatte noch niemals meine Mami belogen, |
A | A7 | |
Lola | lächelte nur und faßte mich an - Und sagte: " | Ich bin es längst – heut wirst auch du ein Mann!" |
Ich werd gern zur Brust genommen, also bin ich wohl einer. |
Ganz sicher bin ich nicht, doch das ist ja heute keiner, höchstens |
Lola, L.O.L.A. Lola la la la la Lola. |

Schon | morgens saß sie | vor der Glotze, mit | Lockenwicklern im | Haar. |

Wenn er schlapp von der Maloche nach hause kam, | saß sie immer noch | da |

Er fuhr mit der Bahn, erster Klasse, nach Paris "Gare du Nord". |
Er bestellte sich Champagner, den trank er aus der Flasche und kam sich ganz schön super vor. |
Und als er dann da war und schon nicht mehr ganz klar war, da traf er ein charmantes Mädel. |
Und am nächsten Morgen war er allein im Hotel, ohne Kies und mit 'nem schweren Schädel. |

462. Der Pfeifer
Reinhard Mey
1.
Am | E | Am | |
Ich | ritt aus San Alfredo im | letzten Tages | licht |
C | G | Am | |
Vielleicht auch aus El | Paso, so genau weiß ich das | nicht. |
G | |
Seit 40 Tagen 40 Nächten | war ich auf der Flucht, |
Am | E | Am | |
in | jeder Stadt fand ich mein Bild da | runter stand: Ge | sucht. |
C | Am | C | Am | |
Sie | nannten mich den | Stillen und | flüsterten mir | nach, |
C | Am | D | E7 | Am | C | E | |
dass | wenn ich was zu | sagen hätte mein | Colt für mich | sprach. |
2.
Sie nannten mich den Pfeifer und meine Devise hieß, |
wenn dir wer vor die Mündung kommt, erst pfeife, und dann schieß. |
Warum ich pfiff das weiß ich nicht, weiß nicht mal wie ich heiß, |
im Westen ist es niemals gut wenn einer zu viel weiß. |
Ich weiß nur wo mein Lied erklang da wurden Bretter knapp, |
weil jeder Schreiner wußte, daß es Arbeit für ihn gab. |
3.
Als ich nach Bloody Corner kam, sah ich schon von weitem her, |
die Summe unter meinem Namen hatte zwei Stellen mehr. |
Ein Prämienjäger sagte: "Pfeifer, ich wart schon auf dich!" |
Ich fuhr herum, pfiff einen Ton, dann sprach mein Colt für mich. |
Als wenig später im Salon mein 38iger spie, |
da spielte der Mann am Klavier dazu die Melodie Am C Am G Am E Am |
4.
Die Ellenbogen aufgestützt, die Flügeltür im Blick, |
stand neben mir ein Fremder, sehr glatt Rasiert und dick. |
"Man nennt mich hier den Denker", so stellte er sich vor, |
spie lässig in den Spucknapf und sagte mir ins Ohr: |
"Wenn du 10.000 Dollar brauchst, dann hab ich einen Plan, |
totsicher genial einfach!" dankbar nahm ich an. |
5.
Jetzt sitz ich hinter Gittern, von Zweifeln angenagt, |
vielleicht war doch des Denkers Plan so gut nicht, wie er gesagt. |
Er sagte: "das bringt dir 10.000,- Dollar wenn du’s wagst, |
zum Sheriff ins Büro zu geh’n dich vor stellst und sagst: |
Grüß Gott, ich bin der Pfeifer, komm selber wie ihr seht, |
um die Belohnung zu kassieren die auf meinen Kopf steht". |
6.
Ich sitz auf meines Pferdes Rücken unter dem Galgenbaum. |
Einen Strick um meinen Hals der Henker hält mein Pferd im Zaum. |
Gleich gibt er ihm die Zügel und dann ist's mit mir vorbei. |
Der Totengräber gräbt mein Grab und pfeift mein Lied dabei. |
Scharfrichter tut seine Pflicht, mein Pferd setzt sich in Trab |
Und unten Brüllt der Regisseur: "Verdammte Schlamperei, |
nun ist der Ast zum 3. Mal abgebrochen, der Film ist auch gerissen, |
also Kinder für heute ist Feierabend, die Leiche dreh'n wir morgen ab". |
463. Die Diplomatenjagd
Reinhard Mey
C | G | C | Am | C | G | |
Auf Schloß Hohenhecke zu | Nieder | lahr -- Es | hat so | eben ge | tagt -- |
C | G | C | Am | C | G | |
Lädt | Freiherr Bodo, wie | jedes | Jahr, zur | Diplo | maten | jagd. |
C | F | C | |
Durch | Felder und Auen auf | haarige | Sauen, |
F | C | |
In Wiesen und Büschen den | Hirsch zu er | wischen, |
F | C | |
Den hat Freiherr Bodo für | teures | Geld |
Am | C | G | C | |
Am | Vorabend | selber hier | aufge | stellt. |
Schon bricht es herein in Wald und Flur, das diplomatische Corps, |
Die Ritter vom Orden der Konjunktur, zwei Generäle zuvor. |
Bei Hörnerquinten, mit Prügeln und Flinten. Es folgt mit Furore ein Monsignore. |
Selbst den klapprigen Ahnherrn von Kieselknirsch |
- Trägt man auf der Bahre mit auf die Pirsch! |
Es knallen die Büchsen, ein Pulverblitz, es wird soeben gesagt, |
Daß Generalleutnant von Zitzewitz den Verlust seines Dackels beklagt. |
Der Attaché Mehring erlegt einen Hering - Den tiefgefroren, die Kugeln durchbohren, |
Noch in Frischhaltepackung, das ist unerhört! |
Ein Keiler ergibt sich, vom Lärm ganz verstört. |
Bewegt sich dort etwas am Waldesrand? Der Ahnherr sieht nicht mehr recht. |
Das kriegt kurzerhand eins übergebrannt! Denn schießen kann er nicht schlecht, |
Ja, ganz ohne Zweifel: Er schießt wie der Teufel! |
- Man trägt ihn ganz leise bis dicht an die Schneise. |
Man reicht ihm die Büchse, es prasselt das Schrot: |
So findet der Außenminister den Tod. |
Daß der Ahnherr daraufhin noch "Waidmannsheil" schreit, hat alle peinlichst berührt. |
Ihm wird ein Protestschreiben überreicht, besonders scharf formuliert! |
Doch muß man dem Alten zugute halten: Das war, bei Hubertus, ein prächtiger Blattschuß, |
Und daß er das Wort Diplomatenjagd, |
Nur etwas zu wörtlich genommen hat! |
Die Nacht bricht herein, und Schloß Hohenhecke bietet ein friedliches Bild. |
Der Monsignore segnet die Strecke von leblosem, greisem Wild. |
Schon fast vergessen, will doch keiner essen: |
Die Veteranen, die zähen Fasanen, Die Ente mit Rheuma, den Keiler mit Asthma. |
Die Jagd wird begossen, und dann wird beschlossen: |
Der Krempel wird, weil man hier großzügig denkt, Dem nächsten Armenhaus geschenkt! |
So wird auch den Ärmsten der Segen zuteil: Es lebe das Weidwerk, dreimal Waidmannsheil! |
464. Gute Nacht, Freunde
Reinhard Mey
C | Dm | G7 | C | |
Gute Nacht, | Freunde, | es wird Zeit für mich zu | geh'n, |
F | E | Dm | |
Was ich noch zu sagen | hätte dauert eine Ziga | rette |
G | C | |
Und ein letztes Glas im | Steh'n. |
C | Dm | G | |
Für den Tag, für die | Nacht unter Eurem Dach habt | Dank. |
C | |
Für den Platz an Eurem | Tisch, für jedes Glas, das ich trank. |
Dm | G | |
Für den Teller, den Ihr | mit zu den Euren | stellt, |
C | F | G | |
Als sei selbstver | ständlicher | nichts auf der | Welt. |
C | Dm | G | |
Habt dank für die | Zeit, die ich mit Euch verplaudert | hab' |
C | |
Und für Eure Ge | duld, wenn's mehr als eine Meinung gab |
Dm | G | |
Dafür, daß Ihr nie | fragt wann ich komme oder | geh' |
C | F | G | |
Und für die stets offene | Tür, in | der ich jetzt | steh' |
C | Dm | G | |
Für die Freiheit, die als | steter Gast bei Euch | wohnt |
C | |
Habt Dank, daß Ihr nie | fragt was es bringt, ob es lohnt |
Dm | G | |
Vielleicht liegt es da | ran, daß man von draußen | meint |
C | F | G | |
Daß in Euren | Fenstern das | Licht wärmer | scheint |
Gute Nacht, Freunde, es wird Zeit für mich zu geh'n. |
Was ich noch zu sagen hätte dauert eine Zigarette |
C | |
Und ein letztes Glas im | Steh'n. |

Am | |
Ein | Wahlplakat zerrissen auf dem nassen Rasen, |
E | |
Sie | grinsen mich an, die alten aufgeweichten Phrasen, |
Dm | |
Die Ge | sichter von auf jugendlich gemachten Greisen, |
E | |
Die dir das | Mittelalter als den Fortschritt anpreisen. |
Am | |
Und ich | denk mir, jeder Schritt zu dem verheiß'nen Glück |
F | |
Ist ein | Schritt nach ewig gestern, ist ein Schritt zurück. |
B7 | |
Wie sie das | Volk zu Besonnenheit und Opfern ermahnen, |
E | |
Sie | nennen es das Volk, aber sie meinen: Untertanen. |
Am | |
All das | Leimen, das Schleimen ist nicht länger zu ertragen, |
F | |
Wenn du | lernst zu übersetzen, was sie wirklich sagen! |
Dm | Am | |
Der Mi | nister nimmt flüsternd den | Bischof beim Arm: |
B7 | E | E7 | |
"Halt' | Du sie dumm - ich halt' sie | arm!" |
Am | E | |
Sei | wachsam, präg dir die Worte ein! Sei | wachsam, und fall' nicht auf sie rein! |

Paß | auf, daß du deine | Freiheit nutzt, die | Freiheit nutzt sich ab, wenn du | sie nicht nutzt! |

Sei | wachsam, merk dir die Gesichter gut! Sei | wachsam, bewahr dir deinen Mut! |
Dm | E7 | Am | |
Sei | wachsam | - und sei auf der | Hut! |
Du machst das Fernsehen an, sie jammern nach guten, alten Werten. |
Ihre guten, alten Werte sind fast immer die verkehrten, |
Und die, die da so vorlaut in der Talk-Runde strampeln |
Sind es, die auf allen Werten mit Füßen rumtrampeln: |
Der Medienmogul und der Zeitungszar, |
Die schlimmsten Böcke als Gärtner, na wunderbar! |
Sie rufen nach dem Kruzifix, nach Brauchtum und nach guten Sitten, |
Doch ihre Botschaft sind nichts als Arsch und Titten. |
Verrohung, Verdummung, Gewalt sind die Gebote, |
Ihre Götter sind Auflage und Einschaltquote. |
Sie biegen die Wahreheit und verdrehen das Recht: |
So viel gute alte Werte, echt, da wird mir echt schlecht! |
Sei wachsam... |
Es ist 'ne Riesenkonjungtur für Rattenfänger, |
Für Trittbrettfahrer und Schmiergeldempfänger, |
'ne Zeit für Selbstbediener und Geschäftemacher, |
Scheinheiligkeit, Geheuchel und Postengeschacher. |
Und die sind alle hochgeachtet und sehr annerkannt, |
Und nach den Schlimmsten werden Plätze und Flugplätze benannt. |
Man packt den Hühnerdieb, den Waffenschieber läßt man laufen, |
Kein Pfeiffchen Gras, aber 'ne ganze Giftgasfabrik kannst Du kaufen. |
Verseuch die Luft, verstrahl das Land, mach ungestraft den größten Schaden, |
Nur laß Dich nicht erwischen bei Sitzblockaden! |
Man packt den Grünfried und das Umweltschwein genießt Vertrau'n. |
Und die Polizei muß immer auf die Falschen draufhau'n. |
Sei wachsam... |
Wir haben ein Grundgesetz, das soll den Rechtsstaat gerantiern. |
Was hilfts, wenn sie nach Lust und Laune d'ran manipulieren, |
Die Scharfmacher, die immer von der Friedensmission quasseln, |
Und unterm Tisch schon emsig mit dem Säbel rasseln? |
Der alte Glanz in ihren Augen beim großen Zapfenstreich, |
Abteilung kehrt, Im Gleichschritt marsch, ein Lied und Heim ins Reich! |
"Nie wieder soll von diesem Land Gewalt ausgehen!" |
"Wir müssen Flagge zeigen, dürfen nicht beiseite stehen!" |
"Rein humanitär natürlich und ganz ohne Blutvergießen!" |
"Kampfeinsätze sind jetzt nicht mehr so ganz auszuschließen. |
Sie ziehen uns immer tiefer rein, Stück für Stück. |
Und seit heute früh umn fünf Uhr schießen wir wieder zurück. |
Sei wachsam... |
Ich hab Sehnsucht nach Leuten, die mich nicht betrügen, |
Die mir nicht mit jeder Festrede die Hucke voll lügen, |
Und verschon' mich mit den falschen Ehrlichen, |
Die falschen Ehrlichen, die wahren Gefährlichen! |
Ich habe Sehnsucht nach einem Stück Wahrhaftigekeit, |
Nach 'nem bißchen Rückgrad in dieser verkrümmten Zeit. |
Doch sag die Wahrheit und Du hast bald nichts mehr zu Lachen, |
Sie wer'n Dich ruiniern, exekutier'n und mundtot machen, |
Erpressen, bestechen, versuchen Dich zu kaufen. |
Wenn Du die Wahrheit sagst, laß draußen den Motor laufen, |
Dann sag sie laut und schnell, denn das Sprichwort lehrt, |
Wer die Wahrheit sagt braucht ein verdammt schnelles Pferd! |
Sei wachsam... |
(und sei auf der Hut; Paß bloß auf!) |

von | neunundneunzig | Luftballons und | dass so was von | so was kommt. |
Neunundneunzig Luftballons auf ihrem weg zum Horizont. |
Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All, darum schickte ein General |
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher, Alarm zu geben wenn's so wär. |
Dabei war'n dort am Horizont nur neunundneunzig Luftballons. |
Neunundneunzig Düsenflieger, Jeder war ein großer Krieger, |
hielten sich für Capain Kirk, das gab ein großes Feuerwerk. |
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft und fühlten sich gleich angemacht, |
Dabei schoß man am Horizont auf neunundneunzig Luftballons. |
Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister Streichholz und Benzinkanister, |
hielten sich für schlaue Leute, witterten schon fette Beute, |
riefen Krieg und wollten Macht, man wer hätte das gedacht, |
dass es einmal so weit kommt, wegen neunundneunzig Luftballons. |
Neunundneunzig Jahre Krieg, ließen keinen Platz für Sieger. |
Kriegsminister gibt‘s nicht mehr und auch keine Düsenflieger. |
Heute zieh ich meine Runde, seh die Welt in Trümmern liegen, |
hab 'nen Luftballon gefunden; denk an dich und lass ihn fliegen. |

In den Booten saßen | Männer und Frau'n ihre | Leiber glänzten in der | Sonne. |

Sie machten ihre Boote längsseits fest |
und mit den Wind wehte Gelächter herüber |
Sie nahmen ihre Blumenkränze ab und warfen sie uns herüber. |
Hej und schon war die Party im Gange. |
Aloha Heja He Aloha Heja He Aloha Heja He |

Ich hab das Paradies gesehn es war um 1910. |
Der Steuermann hatte Matrosen am Mast |

Rauch-Haus-Song |
Em7 | A7 | D | |
Der Mari | annenplatz war | blau, soviel | Bullen waren da, |
Bm7 | Em7 | A7 | d | |
und Mensch | Meier musste | heulen, das war | wohl das Tränengas. |
Bm7 | Em | Bm | |
Und er | fragte irgendeinen: "Sag mal, | ist hier heut 'n Fest?" |
G | A | |
"Sowas ähnliches", | sacht einer "das Be | thanien wird besetzt." |
Em7 | A7 | D | |
"Wird auch | Zeit", sagte Mensch | Meier, "Stand ja | lange genug leer. |
Bm7 | Em7 | A7 | D | |
Ach, wie | schön wär doch das | Leben, gäb es | keine Pollis mehr." |
Bm7 | Em7 | Bm | |
Doch der | Einsatzleiter brüllte: "Räumt den | Mariannenplatz, |
G | A | |
damit | meine Knüppelgarde genug | Platz zum Knüppeln hat!" |
Em7 | A7 | D | |
Doch die | Leute im be | setzen Haus |
Bm | A7 | D | Bm | |
riefen: " | Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus! |
G | Em | F#m | |
Das ist | unser Haus - | schmeißt doch endlich |
G | Em7 | A | D | Em | A | D | Bm | |
Schmidt und | Press und | Mosch aus Kreuzberg | raus." |
Der Senator war stinksauer, die CDU war schwer empört, |
daß die Typen sich jetzt nehmen, was ihnen sowieso gehört. |
Aber um der Welt zu zeigen, wie großzügig sie sind, |
sagten sie: "Wir räumen später, lassen sie erstmal drin!" |
Und vier Monate später stand in Springer's heißem Blatt, |
daß Georg-von-Rauch-Haus hat eine Bombenwerkstatt. |
Und die deutlichen Beweise sind zehn leere Flaschen Wein |
und zehn leere Flaschen können schnell zehn Mollies sein. |
Doch die Leute im Rauch-Haus |
riefen: "Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus! |
Das ist unser Haus - schmeißt doch endlich |
Schmidt und Press und Mosch aus Kreuzberg raus." |
Letzten Montag traf Mensch Meier in der U-Bahn seinen Sohn. |
Der sagte: "Die woll'n das Rauch-Haus räumen, |
ich muß wohl wieder zu Hause wohnen." |
"Is ja irre", sagt Mensch Meier "sind wa wieder einer mehr |
in uns'rer Zwei-Zimmer-Luxus-Wohnung und das Bethanien steht wieder leer. |
Sag mir eins, ha'm die da oben Stroh oder Scheiße in ihrem Kopp? |
Die wohn' in den schärfsten Villen, unsereins im letzten Loch. |
Wenn die das Rauch-Haus wirklich räumen, |
bin ich aber mit dabei |
und hau den ersten Bullen,die da auftauchen ihre Köppe ein." |
Und ich schrei's laut: |
"Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus! |
Das ist unser Haus - schmeißt doch endlich |
Schmidt und Press und Mosch aus Kreuzberg raus." |
|: Und wir schreien's laut: |
"Ihr kriegt uns hier nicht raus! |
Das ist unser Haus, schmeißt doch endlich |
Schmidt und Press und Mosch aus Kreuzberg raus." :| |

Weil | du dich nur noch | fragst warum und | wozu Und was dein | Leben noch bringen | soll |

Halt | durch, auch wenn du | allein bist. Halt | durch, schmeiss jetzt nicht | alles hin. |

Und wenn ein | Sturm dich in die | Knie zwingt - Halt dein Ge | sicht einfach gegen den | Wind. |

C# | A | H | E | |
Steh | auf, es wird schon | irgendwie | weiter | gehen. |
Zwischenspiel
Es ist schwer, seinen Weg nicht zu verlier'n |
Und bei den Regeln und Gesetzen hier |
Ohne Verrat ein Leben zu führ'n |
Dass man selber noch respektiert |
Bridge
Auch wenn die Zeichen gerade alle gegen dich stehn |
Und niemand auf dich wetten will |
Du brauchst hier keinem irgend einen Beweis zu bringen |
Es sei denn es ist für dich selbst |
Steh auf, wenn du am Boden bist! Steh auf, auch wenn du unten liegst! |
Steh auf, es wird schon irgendwie weiter gehen. |
Solo
Bridge
Nur keine Panik so schlimm wird es nicht |
Mehr als deinen Kopf reisst man dir nicht weg |
Komm und seh' nach vorn |
Steh auf, wenn du am Boden bist! Steh auf, auch wenn du unten liegst! |
Steh auf, es wird weiter gehen. |
Steh auf, wenn du am Boden bist! Steh auf, auch wenn du unten liegst! |
Steh auf, es wird schon irgendwie weiter gehen. |

Ja, und so ein Rittersmann hatte sehr viel Eisen an, |
die meisten Ritter, kann man sog'n, hat deshalb der Blitz derschlog'n. |
Ja, so warn's... |
Ein Ritter wollt' auf's Häusl geh'n, die Türe war verschlossen, |
da sah er eine Leiter steh'n, da schaut er durch die Sprossen. |
Ja, so warn's... |
Einst wollt' ein Ritter einen Affen, fing stattdessen einen Pfaffen, |
und sperrt' ihn in das Turmverlies, worauf er kräftig hiunterschaut. |
Ja, so warn's... |
Und der Ritter Dariwud'l hatte ganz a lange-s Schwert, |
wenn ihn das beim Reiten stört, setzt er sich verkehrt auf's Pferd. |
Ja, so warn's... |
Mußt' ein Ritter 'mal verreisen, legt er seine Frau in Eisen, |
doch der Knappe Friederich, der hatte stets 'nen Dieterich. |
Ja, so warn's... |
Die Frauen in den Kemenaten auf die Ritter warten taten. |
Sie taten es bei Kerzenlicht, denn Glühbirnen, die gab's noch nicht. |
Ja, so warn's... |

G | C | G | |
Heute hier, morgen dort, bin kaum | da, muß ich | fort |
Em | G | D | |
hab mich | niemals des | wegen | beklagt, |
G | C | G | |
hab' es | selbst so gewählt, nie die | Jahre ge | zählt, |
Em | D | G | |
nie nach | gestern und | morgen ge | fragt. |
D | C | G | |
Manchmal | träume ich schwer, und dann | denk' ich, es | wär' |
D | C | G | |
Zeit zu | bleiben und nun was ganz | and'res zu | tun. |
C | G | |
So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es | ist mir längst | klar, |
Em | D | G | |
dass nichts | bleibt, dass nichts | bleibt, wie es | war. |
Das man mich kaum vermißt, schon nach Tagen vergißt, |
wenn ich längst wieder anderswo bin, |
stört und kümmert mich nicht, vielleicht bleibt mein Gesicht |
doch dem ein' oder anderen im Sinn. |
Manchmal träume ich schwer, und dann denk' ich, es wär' |
Zeit zu bleiben und nun was ganz and'res zu tun. |
So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es ist mir längst klar, |
daß nichts bleibt, dass nichts bleibt, wie es war. |
Fragt mich einer, warum ich so bin, bleib ich stumm, |
denn die Antwort darauf fällt mir schwer, |
denn was neu ist, wird alt, und was gestern noch galt, |
stimmt schon heut oder morgen nicht mehr. |
Manchmal träume ich schwer, und dann denk' ich, es wär' |
Zeit zu bleiben und nun was ganz and'res zu tun. |
So vergeht Jahr um Jahr und es ist mir längst klar, |
daß nichts bleibt, dass nichts bleibt, wie es war. |

480. Die Moritat von Mackie Messer
B.Brecht / K. Weill (1920)
C6 | Dm | G7 | C6 | |
Und der | Haifisch der hat | Zähne, und die | trägt er im Ge | sicht, |
Am | Dm | G7 | C6 | |
Und Ma | cheath der hat ein | Messer, doch das | Messer sieht man | nicht. |
Ach, es sind des Haifischs Flossen Rot, wenn dieser Blut vergießt! |
Mackie Messer trägt 'nen Handschuh D'rauf man keine Untat liest. |
An 'nem schönen blauen Sontag Liegt ein toter Mann am Strand. |
Und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke Den man Mackie Messer nennt. |
Und schmul Meier bleibt verschwunden Und so mancher reiche Mann. |
Und sein Geld hat Mackie Messer Dem man nichts beweisen kann. |
Jenny Towler ward gefunden mit 'nem Messer in der Brust. |
Und am Kai geht Mackie Messer Der von allem nichts gewußt! |
Und das große Feuer in Soho Sieben Kinder und ein Greis; |
In der Menge Mackie Messer, den Man nichts fragt und der nichts weiß. |
Und die minderjährige Witwe Deren Namen jeder weiß. |
Wachte auf und war geschändet Mackie, welches war dein Preis? |
Und die Fische, sie verschwinden Doch zum Kummer des Gerichts. |
Man zitiert am End den Haifisch Doch der Haifisch weiß von nichts. |
Und er kann sich nicht erinnern Und man kann nicht an ihn ran. |
Denn ein Haifisch ist kein Haifisch Wenn man's nicht beweisen kann. |

Es ist verrückt wie schön du schweigst, wie du dein hübsches Köpfchen neigst |
Und so der ganzen lauten Welt und mir die kalte Schulter zeigst. |
Dein Schweigen ist dein Zelt, du stellst es mitten in die Welt, |
Spannst die Schnüre und staunst stumm wenn nachts ein Mädchen drüber fällt. |
Zu deinen Füssen red ich mich um Kopf und Kragen, |
Ich will in deine tiefen Wasser große Wellen schlagen, |
Oh bitte gib mir nur ein Oh, Bitte gib mir nur ein Oh, |
Bitte gib mir nur ein - Bitte bitte gib mir nur ein Wort. |
In meinem Blut werfen die Endorphine Blasen, |
Wenn hinter deinen stillen Hasenaugen die Gedanken rasen... |

und haun uns | reichlich auf die | Glocke. |
Denn sind wir auf See und singen das Lied von die Wikingers... |
"Volldampf voraus!" brüllte Rollos Bruder. |
"Geht klar mien Jung; wo sind hier die Ruder?" |
Mensch war die Strömung stark uns zitterten die Beine |
"Kein Wunder," meinte Rollo, "wir sind noch an’ne Leine!" |
Hö, ein Wal, das Boot fängt an zu beben. |
Heinrich der Starke muß sich wieder übergeben. |
Denn sind wir auf See und singen das Lied von die Wikingers... |
Vor Helgoland taten wir und im Kreise drehn |
Es taten nämlich wilde Winde wehn! |
Aus Haithabu flach über die Wogen |
Kam uns 'ne Brieftaube zugeflogen. |
In die Nachricht, wat'n Glück, auch stand |
"Die Winde ham sich abgewannt!" |
Vor England schrien wir wie besessen |
"Umdrehn! Wir ham den Met vergessen!" |
Denn sind wir auf See und singen das Lied von die Wikingers... |
